Lecture 2 of 'Advanced Numerical Methods' (wi4212)

• The following subjects are discussed:
  
  
  • acoustic waves in a gas
  • elastic waves in a solid; P-wave, S-wave
  • electromagnetic waves
  • solution of a general hyperbolic system
  • caracteristic wave speed
  • symmetric hyperbolic, strictly hyperbolic
  • nonlinear hyperbolic systems
    
    
  Corresponding sections in the book: Sections 2.6-2.14
  
  
• Exercises 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5 can be made.
  
  Note that Excercise 2.4 contains an error. The final reference in Excercise 2.4 should be (2.50) instead of (2.51). and 2.5 can be made.
