10. Course overview:
Computer techniques have revolutionized the way in which real-life problems are
analyzed. Almost all branch of engineers relies heavily on computer methods to
analyze and help evaluate new designs or design modifications. Although most
engineering problems ultimately involve solving only one or two partial differential
equations subject to boundary constraints, very few practical problems can be solved
without the aid of a computer.

Computer methods for analyzing problems in engineering generally fall into one of
three categories, analytical techniques, numerical techniques, and expert systems.
2
Analytical techniques make simplifying assumptions about the geometry of a
problem in order to apply a closed-form (or table look-up) solution. Numerical
techniques attempt to solve fundamental field equations directly, subject to the
boundary constraints posed by the geometry. Expert systems do not actually
calculate the field directly, but instead estimate values for the parameters of interest
based on a rules database.

The engineer has a number of computer programs based on analytical techniques.

Some of them are very simple and work on personal computers. Others are very
complex.

Numerical techniques generally require more computation than analytical

techniques or expert systems, but they are very powerful analysis tools. Without
making a priori assumptions about which field interactions are most significant,
numerical techniques analyze the entire geometry provided as input.

A number of different numerical techniques are available to solve engineering

problems. Each digital technology is well suited to analyzing a particular type of
problem. The digital technology that a particular computer program uses plays an
important role in determining the types of problems the program will be able to
analyze. This course reviews some useful numerical methods for solving engineering
problems using MATLAB. Particular emphasis is placed on how to find solutions to
linear and nonlinear equations and systems of differential equations for their wide
use in engineering problems.

11. Course objective:

Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to use computer matlab
codes to:
1. Practice all most of the Matrices operations.
2. Solve system of linear equation by use different methods.
3. Finding the roots of non-linear equation numerically by used the numerical
method such as iteration, bisection, newton Raphson ...etc
4. Calculate the integrations and find the numerical solution of it
12. Student's obligation

3
The student obligations
1. Students are expected to attend classes. For all courses, attendance in the
classes is compulsory, and the absence of a student in the course must not
exceed 10%.
2. The student should be ready to take the quiz at any time.
3. Students are expected to submit assignments by the due date.
4. Students should provide seminars about the subject applications in
engineering.
5. Students are required to be familiar with the university’s policies on student
integrity and misconduct. Students are expected to be courteous at all times to
all university staff and student colleagues. All students at the university are
bound by the Student Charter.
6. Students are expected to prepare for and participate in tutorials.
7. Students must pass all tests, exams, and assignments with a minimum pass
mark of 50% in the exam.
13. Forms of teaching

The teaching method comprises the principles and methods used for instruction to be
implemented to achieve the desired learning in students.

My style during the lectures depends on:

1. Use "data show" during the lectures and explain the subject using PowerPoint or
Word files.

2. Using a whiteboard to explain the keywords of the subjects.

3: Classroom discussions on the whiteboard.

4- Homework’s.

5: Assignments: include preparing a report about numerical analysis homework’s.

14. Assessment scheme

4
The assessment scheme for the subject depends on the department's distribution of
marks and rules.

The distribution of marks is shown below:

 midterm exam (theoretical) = 10%.

 Midterm exam (practical) = 10%.
 Workload activity (assignment, seminar, quiz, etc.) = 30%

Total marks = 50%.

Final exam: 50%

Total marks during the academic year = 100%.

15. Student learning outcome:

The course covers numerical analysis components and solving methods with
computer programming. The student learning outcomes statements clearly state the
expected knowledge, skills, and competencies that are expected to be acquired from
the subject.By the end of this course, the students should be able to:
 Demonstrate an understanding of common numerical methods and how they
are used to obtain solutions to intractable mathematical problems.
 Apply numerical methods to obtain approximate solutions to mathematical
problems.
 Derive numerical methods for various mathematical operations and tasks,
such as interpolation, differentiation, integration, the solution of linear and
nonlinear equations, and the solution of differential equations.
 Implement numerical methods in MATLAB.
