Oberseminar: Numerical methods in CSE
The Oberseminar: Numerical methods in CSE is a seminar-series at the department of mathematics of TUM, jointly organized by members of numerics and scientific computing groups. It usually takes place once per week during lecture times, featuring a talk of 45-60 min. from a (guest-)speaker including a small discussion round afterwards, similar to a conference presentation.
With local as well as international guests from the broad field of computational science and engineering (CSE) the seminar functions as an idea- and exchange platform about various and new topics for an interested audience. Talks and topics range from new mathematical models over classical numerical analysis to high performance computing and interesting, real world applications. Our typical audience consists out of “fresh” master- and PhD-students, postdocs as well as experienced professors and experts from the field.
Main goals of the seminar are:
- To meet experts and learn about current research and development in fields relevant to ones own work, but also
- To broaden ones own horizons with topics and ideas from different directions
When & Where
When: The default timeslot for the seminar talks is (during lecture time) every Thursday at 12:15 h with a typical duration of roughly 60-90 min. However, depending on the circumstances some talks are also scheduled at different times, please see the list of announced talks below and, if interested in up-to-date news, consider subscribing to our mailing list (see bottom of the page).
Where: The seminar normally takes place in person within the rooms of the department mathematics at TUM (Boltzmannstraße 3, D-85748 Garching). For the winter term 2024/25 we are usually using the room MI 03.06.011.
