Scientific Computing [Coursera] [UW]

Welcome to Week 1 of Scientific Computing!Welcome to Week 1 of Scientific Computing!

Scientific computing surveys practical solution techniques for differential equations. Week 1 begins by exploring methods to numerically approximate and solve ordinary differential equations. In Lecture 1 some time-stepping methods for approximating and solving ordinary differential equations are derived. Lecture 2 goes over analyzing stability and accuracy of these methods. Boundary value problems are addressed in Lecture 3, and the classic and quite intuitive Shooting algorithm to solve these class of problems is introduced. You will be expected to finish Quizzes 1, 2 and 3 at the end of Lectures 1, 2 and 3 respectively.

本来没想选这门课的，很多内容之前学过了。
但是看到视频说这个是UW三部曲的第一部，另外两部：
Computational Methods for Data Analysis以及High Performance Scientific Computing
会在接下来几个月陆续放出来，果断怒选之！

High Performance Scientific Computing 这门感觉一般，1）老师说话时快时慢，讲课断断续续，很影响听课；2）涵盖了很多技术，但是点到为止（至少前几周）。
