Mathematical Modeling in Mechanics (POLYTECH)

The course, which combines computational science and variational methods in mechanics, is designed to model simple physical equations and implement numerical methods to solve them

Modeling physical equations (solid mechanics, diffusion/transport equations,

(wave equations, etc.) in the form of ODE or PDE, and classify these equations according to their degree

in terms of difficulty

1. Implement numerical methods to solve these equations (primarily

(finite differences and spectral methods), take boundary conditions into account

1. Analyze the effectiveness of digital models and gain an understanding of their strengths and

weaknesses 

1. Conduct a critical analysis of mathematical and numerical solutions in relation to physics
