Computational Solutions of Wave Problems

This is a Computational Methods course taught by Professor Botteldoorn as Professor Bogaert that uses Matlab. It is fairly well put together, though the course notes are terrible. It contains four in-class programming assignments that you are evaluated on at the end of the class, and two large programming projects that you will make in a group of 2 or 3 people.

Knowing how to program in Matlab is a prerequisite of the course.

The course covers Finite Element Method, Finite Volume Method, Finite Difference Time Domain, Parabolic Equations, Integral Methods, and Ray Tracing. But only in application to wave equations. You will be working with Acoustic and Electromagnetic waves in the course, due to the fact that the Acoustic and Electromagnetic department are one in the same at UGent.
