Course PrerequisitesCourse Prerequisites

An advanced, graduate-elective course offered every 2 years (occasionally 3). Primarily a continuation of ASEN 5007: Introduction to Finite Element Methods (IFEM)

Prerequisites: A graduate-level intro course in FEM Uses Linear Algebra & Differential Equations at a deeper level than IFEM

Prior experience in solving nonlinear equations helpful but not required

Homework RulesHomework Rules

Usually assigned weekly, except for take home exam weeks and final week.

Group collaboration for HW allowed. However each student must submit own HW, with names of collaborators if group work was done.If identical HWs are submitted, no credit is given.

See posted HW rules for details.
