ASSIGNMENT 2

General Instruction

1. Form a group of 5 people.

2. Choose 1 case study on Ordinary Differential Equation related problems to be solved using
Numerical Method.

3. Solve the problem using any two approaches from Ordinary Differential Equation method.

Instruction 1: Problem Statement

Solve a case study on Ordinary Differential Equation related problems to be solved using Numerical
Method. The contents must be from cases that you have learned/experienced/experimented throughout
the study period. (Ex: strength bending problem, vibration problem, thermofluid etc). Summarize the
results of your analysis by comparing which method is more efficient than the other for your
engineering problem.

(CO3/PO1/C3)

Instruction 2: Analysis

Use Matlab® to perform the analysis for your Ordinary Differential Equation related problem.
The analysis should include the following:

1. Provide a brief background of the situation you are going to look at.

2. State the numerical method concept that you choose.

3. Perform the analysis with regards to the case using 2 numerical method.

4. Summarize the results of your analysis.

5. Include the computer results in the form of an appendix.
