>>13769932>>13770005>>13770057i'm finishing up an EE PhD. my discipline is steeped in physics PDEs, particularly Maxwell's equations.
i really enjoy the numeric computation classes i've taken, but i think that's because i'm comfortable with the theory and its applications.
we went over finite difference, method of moments, and finite element methods (
>>13769832 pic related is Galerkin's method applied to a restrictive EM scenario).
if i didn't have an application paired with the numerics, my eyes would have glazed over the first day. from personal and anecdotal experience, i've realized teaching scientific computing to people without the appropriate background is mostly a waste of time.
