NGSolve User Meeting 2018, July 4-6, Göttingen

Synopsis

This user meeting is the successor of the first NGSolve user meeting which successfully took place in Vienna in 2017. At the NGSolve user meeting 2018 in Göttingen, we again bring together advanced NGSolve users with different background, as well as newcomers who want to get a quickstart into NGSolve and NGS-Py. Experiences will be shared, new features are to be discussed and extensions to the software are presented.
