24-311  NUMERICAL METHODS  Fall 2003   

[ Home ] Course Info ] Announcement ] Schedule ] Performance ] Reference ]

Tue and Thr 10:30AM-11:50AM @ Scaife Hall 125

 Course Goals   


The goal of this course is for you to learn the concepts of numerical methods for engineers and how to implement them on the computer.    Numerical methods are extremely powerful problem-solving tools, especially when we need to handle large systems of equations, nonlinearities, and complicated geometries, which are not uncommon in real world engineering. The topics covered in this course include: (1) roots of equations, (2) linear algebraic equations, (3) optimization, (4) curve fitting, (5) numerical differentiation and integration, (6) ordinary differential equations, and (7) partial differential equations.
