Introduction to Numerical Methods

  • Online

This module explores the various classes of numerical methods that are used in Photonics, and how these are classified, their simplifying assumptions. The content will also include discussion on the advantages and limitations of the classes of methods, the pros and cons of commercial software and tips on how to maximize their usage. The focus is on helping participants to understand how to choose the appropriate modelling method for their particular need.

What you will learn:

  • Explain Maxwell's Equations
  • Adjust Maxwell's Equations using numerical methods
  • Evaluate problems and select a method for conducting analysis

This course is part of the following course program:
