Time Integration Methods and Software for Scientific Simulations: Carol S. Woodward Time-dependent systems are at the heart of numerous scientific applications requiring simulation. While single rate, fixed step size time integration methods have been used for decades, adaptive step methods and schemes that can efficiently evolve problems with multiple time scales have not yet been fully […]
Dear friends of FRAGMENT, to decompress from the adrenaline high weekend of WAGS, we are very happy to have Rob Silversmith, from Warwick/MSRI, speak to us this week (at 3:15pm).
