This course aims to provide the students the basic skills for solving engineering problems with computers, where approximate answers are simpler/quicker/more readily available/useful than precise/exact mathematical/analytical solutions.
Upon succesful completion of this course, a student will be able to
1. Use MATLAB programming environment for the solution of engineering problems and for the future engineering courses
2. Perform basic programming techniques
3. Consider iterative solution concepts, sensitivity, reliability and convergence of numerical solutions
4. Perform numerical root finding techniques for certain types of problems and select ap-propriate technique for a specific problem type
5. Find values within (intermediate) or outside (external) a given range utilizing iteration or extrapolation
6. Perform appropriate numerical solution techniques for the solution of linear equations
7. Use computers for linear algebra, differentiation and integration problems
8. Solve matrices and ordinary differential equations with computers
