Korshub's take
Formulation with code
This intermediate Coursera course introduces the finite element method for problems in physics and engineering. The mathematics is kept to what is needed to clarify each formulation, and the focus is on coding those formulations in a modern open-source environment.
Format and scope
The course includes about 45 hours of lectures, covering material the instructor normally teaches in an introductory graduate class. Finite element methods and C++ programming are listed among the skills you will gain.
Who it suits
- Engineering and physics students who want to build their own solvers
- Programmers who want to apply numerical methods in C++
The code is meant to be extended to other applications, so the course suits learners who expect to adapt the work to their own problems.
