Numerical Methods for Engineers

This course covers the most important numerical methods that an engineer should know, including root finding, matrix algebra, integration and interpolation, ordinary and partial differential equations. We learn how to use MATLAB to solve numerical problems, and access to MATLAB online and the MATLAB grader is given to all students who enroll. We assume students are already familiar with the basics of matrix algebra, differential equations, and vector calculus. They should have a working knowled

• MATLAB and the foundations of scientific computing
• Root finding methods such as Newton's method, and numerical linear algebra using the LU decomposition
• Integration methods such as adaptive quadrature, and interpolation algorithms using a cubic spline
• Numerical methods for solving ODEs, such as Runge-Kutta, and the finite difference method for solving PDEs
