Mathematical theory of finite element methods, with error analysis and stability. Continuous and discontinuous Galerkin methods and mixed finite element methods, applied to elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic partial differential equations including compressible and/or incompressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations. Implementation in two and three dimensions. Students should have completed an introductory course on numerical methods for partial differential equations.
