A workshop on Numerical Algorithms & Computations in Science & Technology with Matlab

July 8–12, 2024

Venue: Lecture Hall Complex, IIT Ropar

ABOUT WORKSHOP

This workshop aims to equip participants with theoretical knowledge and practical skills in numerical methods, including finite difference, finite element, and finite volume techniques. Emphasis will be placed on applying these methods to solve differential equations that govern real-world challenges in science and technology. The workshop will feature hands-on MATLAB sessions, where participants will implement basic and advanced numerical algorithms.

Upon completion of the workshop, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the entire process, from developing a mathematical model to constructing efficient numerical algorithms and implementing computational strategies for simulations. This workshop is designed for motivated and ambitious individuals, including bachelor's and master's students, research scholars, postdoctoral researchers, faculty members, and industry professionals. We invite participants from diverse backgrounds eager to enhance their knowledge and skills in numerical methods and their practical applications.
