The Firedrake Team will be delivering a finite element course, with practical examples in Firedrake (of course!) at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences Rwanda from 8 to 12 April 2025.
The course will draw heavily on the materials for a finite element course taught at Imperial College London and the Firedrake manual.
The materials most relevant for each section are linked below, but further reading is available on the links above.
| Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday | |
| Early AM | Function spaces and inner products | The Ciarlet finite element | Nonlinear problems | Devito: inverse tomography | Software for adjoints: differentiable programming |
| Late AM | Our first finite element problem | Firedrake practical 3: vector-valued problems | Firedrake practical 5: The Burgers equation | Adjoints part 1: derivation | Adjoint practical 2: the tape |
| Early PM | Firedrake practical 1: Helmholtz Equation | Systems with more than one variable | An introduction to solvers and preconditioners | Devito: inverse tomography | Deep learning introduction, practical |
| Late PM | Firedrake practical 2: Dirichlet boundary conditions | Firedrake practical 4: mixed Poisson | Firedrake practical 6: solvers | Adjoint practical 1: Burgers again | Scientific machine learning, practical |
