Description

Numerical techniques for problems commonly encountered in Mechanical Engineering are presented. Chebyshev interpolation, quadrature, roots of equations in one or more variables, matrices, curve fitting, splines and ordinary differential equations. The emphasis is on the analysis and understanding of the problem rather than the details of the actual numerical program.
  • Prerequisites: (MATH 263, MATH 271, COMP 208) or GEPR 221.
  • (3-1-5)
  • GEPR courses can only serve as pre-requisite courses for students enrolled in the Bachelor of Global Engineering program
