   This learning resource describes a set of programming assignments that are used in a Rate Processes of Materials course. The assignments are designed around the pedagogical principle of scaffolding, in which students are given initial support structures that are gradually removed. The...

2. Poisson Equation Solvers - General Considerations

   Teaching Materials | 08 Jun 2010 | Contributor(s):: Dragica Vasileska

   We describe the need for numerical modeling, the finite difference method, the conversion from continuous set to set of matrix equations, types of solvers for solving sparse matrix equations of the form Ax=b that result, for example, from the finite difference discretization of the Poisson...
