Computation Techniq Syllabi

This NPTEL syllabus provides an overview of a video course on computational techniques. The course aims to give students an understanding of computational methods through solved examples in Excel. It will cover topics like linear systems, algebraic equations, regression, differentiation, integration, ordinary differential equations, and partial differential equations. The course is designed to be relevant for various engineering and science fields by teaching numerical problem-solving techniques. It will enhance students' ability to use computers to iteratively solve problems that would otherwise be difficult to solve by hand. The course consists of 41 hours of video lectures spread over 10 topics.

Computational Techniques -
Video course

COURSE OUTLINE

Objectives:
NPTEL
The development of fast, efficient and inexpensive computers
has significantly increased the range of engineering problems
http://nptel.ac.in
that can be solved reliably.

Computational techniques use computers to solve problems by Chemical


step-wise, repeated and iterative solution methods, which
would otherwise be tedious or unsolvable by hand- Engineering
calculations.

This course is designed to give an overview of computational


techniques of interest to process engineer. Understanding of
computational techniques will be enhanced using several Hyperlinks:
solved examples, which will be done using MS Excel. Since the
focus is on the techniques themselves, rather than specific Numerical Recipes in Fortran
applications, the contents should be relevant to varied fields and C:
such as engineering, management, economics, etc.
