Advanced Mathematical Methods For Civil Engineering Applications

This document discusses numerical methods for solving ordinary differential equations (ODEs) for applications in civil engineering. It covers basic concepts of ODEs, approximations and errors, Taylor series, order notation, and numerical methods including Euler's method, predictor-corrector approaches, and Runge-Kutta methods. The document is presented by Wonsiri Punurai from Mahidol University and provides an outline and overview of various topics to be covered in more detail later.
