ENGR 019. Numerical Methods for Engineering Applications
This course is geared towards students who want to know how to transform a set of equations on a page into a working computer program. Topics will include root finding, discrete and continuous optimization, gradient descent, solution of linear systems, finite element methods, and basic methods in computational geometry. We will also discuss how real numbers are represented by computers, especially insofar as they affect precision and accuracy of calculations. Techniques will be applied in a series of projects focused on engineering applications.
Prerequisite: MATH 025 /MATH 026 or its equivalent, or permission of the instructor.
(Cross-listed as MATH 024 )
1 credit.
