Learning outcomes
Knowledge
The students who successfully complete the course will be aware of the main numerical methods for solving ordinary differential equations and will have the ability to apply them in various contexts. Furthermore, they will have acquired the skill to treat real-life problems modeled by differential equations by selecting the algorithms best suited for dealing with them. At the same time, the course is meant to make students well acquainted with the use of specific mathematical software (Matlab or an open-source software equivalent to it); moreover, they will have the ability to develop, as necessary, their own practical implementation of some simple algorithms. The students will be able to reflect critically and creatively on the results of the numerical simulations carried out by them.

Syllabus
The course is divided in two parts, one of which is devoted principally to numerical methods for solving initial value problems (IVPs), and the other, to those for treating boundary value problems (BVPs). IVPs: - One-step methods (Runge-Kutta); multistep methods (Adams' family and BDF); - Convergence properties; - Concept of stability; - Stiff problems. BVPs: - Shooting methods; finite difference methods; Boundary Value Methods.
