Computational Methods for Engineering.

Catalog description

Introduction to numerical methods with emphasis on algorithm construction, analysis, and implementation to provide solutions to common problems formulated in science and engineering. Programming, round-off error, root finding for nonlinear equations, solutions of equations in one variable, interpolation and polynomial approximation, approximation theory, direct solvers for linear systems, numerical differentiation and integration, initial-value problems for ordinary differential equations and boundary value problems. Observe firsthand the issues of accuracy, computational work effort, and stability. (Fall) Prerequisites: EG1294, EG2346, and MT2332.
