MECN 3500 Numerical Methods for Engineering
Description of numerical methods and the theory of computational errors for solving engineering problems. Emphasis on the use of methods to calculate roots of equations, the solution of systems of linear and non-linear equations, curve fitting, interpolation, integration and derivation by numerical approximations, numerical integration of differential equations and optimization techniques. Application of the method of finite differences in the solution of differential equations. Use of computerized programs to solve problems.
