Description

This talk will look into NDSolve in some detail. Problems arising from the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations will be explored, including higher-order differential equations and systems of equations, initial- and boundary-value problems, and stiffness. The current state of the numerical solver for partial differential equations will be outlined. The various types of errors that inevitably arise will be highlighted. A short preview of upcoming features for NDSolve will also be included.
