CONTENT

This course cover techniques in numerical analysis such as numerical solution of linear systems, sparse matrix techniques, linear least squares, singular value decomposition, numerical computation of eigenvalues and eigenvectors, optimization techniques, interpolation and approximation of functions, solving systems of nonlinear equations, numerical handling of ordinary and partial differential equations.

OBJECTIVE

Learning methods to solve partial differential equations using finite difference methods; to solve linear and nonlinear ordinary differential equations with single, multistep, and nonlinear methods by analyzing consistency, stability of the methods.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

  • Apply the basic numerical concepts such as error analysis, round off error, subtractive cancellation, and error magnification.
  • Apply fundamental numerical analysis tools and identify their limitations.
  • Apply these basic numerical principles to model and analyze engineering problems.
  • Gain hand on experience by developing computational tools for applied numerical problems.
