Numerical Methods
Numerical Methods
Course This course covers the concepts of numerical analysis and computer
Description software tools in dealing with engineering problems. It includes
techniques in finding the rots of an equation, solving systems of
linear and non-linear equations, eigenvalue problems, polynomial
approximation and interpolation, ordinary and partial differential
equations. The Monte-Carlo method, simulation, error propagation
and analysis, the methods of least squares and goodness –of –fit tests
are also discussed
