ENG-A1003 - Numerical methods in Engineering, Lecture, 10.1.2022-18.2.2022

Inträde för gästanvändare
Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

After the course, the students will be able to:

  • explain the theory behind classical numerical methods (for example: Newton-Raphson, Runge-Kutta and LU factorisation)
  • use Matlab as a tool to solve, analyse and visualise computational problems and data.
  • correct, validate, and improve existing code.
  • reflect on the validity and accuracy of numerical predictions.
