Scientific Computing Program of Institute of Applied Mathematics (IAM) has launched Lecture Series to share knowledge and expertise on computational science and engineering  (CSE) with the undergraduate/graduate students. Over the past two decades, CSE has become an increasingly important part of research in academia, industry, and laboratories. Mathematics-based advanced computing is now a prevalent means of discovery and innovation in essentially all areas of science, engineering, technology, and society, and the CSE community is at the core of this transformation. The purpose of these lecture series  is to bring together researchers  from a diversity of subdisciplines from the fields of computational mathematics and engineering with undergraduate/graduate students.

Schedule of 2019-2020 Spring Semester:

• General Instructions:
• We suggest to bring personal laptop, installed already MATLAB, in order to implement Exercises. MATLAB Student Version is available to download on MathWorks website, http://www.mathworks.com, or METU FTP Severs (Licenced).
• You need to fill the register form to attend the classes up to February 14, 2020.  Registration is closed thanks for your interest!
• Lecture series is just organized for the undergraduate students. Please, do not send any e-mail for the attendance if you are a graduate student.
• The lectures will be held on U1 Auditorium, Department of Physics.
• Introduction to MATLAB Programming: The aim of this seminar series is to provide an introduction to the MATLAB environment and language, in order to solve problems in science and engineering. The following topics will be covered
• February 17: Mehmet Alp Üreten
• 17:45-19:30: Basic commands and Syntax, Arrays and Matrices;
• February 18: Eda Oktay
• 17:45-19:30: Scripts and Functions, Control Loops, and Advanced Data Structures;
• February 19: Sıtkı Can Toraman
• 17:45-19:30: Graphics, Visualizations and Symbolic Toolbox.

         This seminer series is organized for the participants, who do not know MATLAB or have basic knowledge. 

Old Events:

• On 2019-2020 Fall Semester, we organized a lecture series consisting of
• Introduction to MATLAB Programming: The aim of this seminar series is to provide an introduction to the MATLAB environment and language, in order to solve problems in science and engineering. The lectures were given by Hamdullah Yücel, and M. Alp Üreten on October 14-15, 2019.
• Introduction to Deep Learning for Applied Mathematicians with MATLAB: The aim of the is to provides a very brief introduction to the basic ideas that underlie deep learning from an applied mathematics perspective. The lecture is given by Mustafa Kütük on October 21, 2019.

         The lecture series was succesffully  done with over 80 participants. 

• On 2018-2019 Spring Semester, we organized a lecture series consisting of 
• Introduction to MATLAB Programming: The aim of this seminar series is to provide an introduction to the MATLAB environment and language, in order to solve problems in science and engineering. The lectures were given by Hamdullah Yücel, M. Alp Üreten, and Süleyman Yıldız on February 25-28, 2019.
• Numerical Methods for Differential Equations with MATLAB: The aim of this lectures is to teach basic numerical techniques for solving ordinary differential equations (ODEs) or partial differential equations (PDEs) and to implement them with MATLAB. The lectures were given by Ömür Uğur and Hamdullah Yücel on March 09-10, 2019. 
• Programming of Finite Element Methods in MATLAB: The aim of the lecture is to discuss how to implement the linear finite element method for solving the Poisson equation in one  dimension. The lecture was given by Hamdullah Yücel on May 03, 2019. 

         The lecture series was succesffully  done with over 100 participants.

• Our first concept is MATLAB for undergraduate students. The goal of this seminar series is to provide an introduction to the MATLAB environment and language, in order to solve problems in science and engineering. The first lecture series was held first on November 19-28, 2018  and then December 10-19, 20018 with the attendance of 40 participants.
