Abstract
In the last five years the development of numerical methods for systems of hyperbolic
conservation laws has advanced dramatically. This changed the concept of what is
considered to be a solution. The first time ever since 1757 when Euler developed his
equations for gas dynamics can one now show convergence of numerical solutions to
solutions of these equations. Starting from basic knowledge in the field these new schemes
are presented.
The series of lectures has to be seen in connection with the Workshop on Numerical
Methods for Hyperbolic Conservation and Balance Laws and Applications 10-11
November 2017.
