The Scientific Computing Lab, led by Dr. Miriam Mehl, focuses on solving ordinary and partial differential equations through a hands-on project approach. Students will engage with worksheets every two weeks, complemented by an introductory lecture and personal presentations. Key prerequisites include knowledge of differential equations and linear algebra, with emphasis on MATLAB programming in a Linux environment. Grades are based on program functionality and presentation performance, with no written exams. For inquiries, students can contact staff via provided emails.
