Lecturer :  Vincent Denoël, Michel Pirotton
Language(s) of instruction :  
French language
Course contents :  
This course is an introduction to linear numerical methods and to their applications in the field of civil and geological engineering. It deals with finite differences, finite elements and finite volumes.
Learning outcomes of the course :  
The objective of the classes is to make the students understand the basic principles of methods currently widely used in many software tools. The emphasis is put more on the theoretical fundamentals than on applications.
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :  
Mathematical analysis and numerical analysis
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :  
The practical activities consists in the resolution of differential problems coming form fluid and solid mechanics using the methods presented in the theoretical classes (finite elements, finite differences, finite volumes)
