Numerical calculation in mechanics Project

The aim of this course is to provide an introduction to numerical tools for solving partial differential equations from various fields of engineering. The spectral method applied to the equation of heat diffusion in a bar will be covered, as well as the development of codes based on this technique. In particular, students will be asked to implement this method in Python, integrating the basics of this language and versioning tools. Documents submitted by students will be produced using Latex word processing.  

• Using the spectral method
• Set up the differential equation for the physical problem under consideration.
• Coding the spectral method in Python language
• Writing a scientific report
• Using a versioning tool
• give an oral presentation of scientific results.
