GraduatE Courses
Special Topics: Computational
Fluid Dynamics, NYU, Spring 2013
This course is a graduate-level course advanced numerical
techniques for solving PDEs, with a particular focus on fluid
dynamics. This includes advection-diffusion-reaction
equations, compressible and incompressible Navier-Stokes
equations, and fluid-structure coupling.
Scientific Computing, NYU,
Spring 2012
This course is a graduate-level practical introduction to
computational problem solving, including numerical linear
algebra, optimization, interpolation, numerical integration,
Fourier transforms, and Monte Carlo methods.
Special Topics:
Coarse-Grained Models of Materials, NYU, Fall 2011
In this special-topic course we will discuss the fundamental
ideas behind coarse-grained models of materials, as well as
computational algorithms for mesoscopic modeling of gases,
liquids, solids, and granular materials. Students will study a
review or seminal paper and present what they have learned in
class.
Scientific Computing, NYU,
Spring 2011
This course is a graduate-level practical introduction to
computational problem solving, including numerical linear
algebra, optimization, interpolation, numerical integration,
Fourier transforms, and Monte Carlo methods.Numerical Methods I, NYU, Fall 2010
This course is the first part of a two-course series meant to introduce Ph.D. students in mathematics to the fundamentals of numerical mathematics. It covers most subjects except for differential equations.Undergraduate Courses
Ordinary Differential Equations, NYU, Fall 2012
This course is an introduction to differential equations for both majors and non-majors. Topics covered include first and second order equations, series solutions, numerical methods, dynamical systems, and integral transforms.Physics Computations, MSU, Fall 2000
Some of the materials that I
designed under the supervision of Dr. Phil Duxbury
for the Physics Computation course series at Michigan State
University can be found here (this is
a local copy of the old site). Here
is the Fortran manual that
I wrote for that course.
