11. Introduction to interpolation, integration and spectral methods

Alex Barnett (CCM)

10/30/19, 2:00 PM

I overview key concepts and practical methods for efficient and accurate numerical function approximation, integration and differentiation. This is the basis for spectral and other ODE/PDE solvers coming up in the next talk. I will teach concepts such as convergence rate, local/global, adaptivity, rounding error, polynomial and Fourier bases. The focus is on 1D, with pointers to...
