Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: The course aims to teach the students the implementation of numerical methods for computer-aided solutions to problems that arise in engineering design and analysis.
Course Content: Modeling, computers and error analysis, error accumulation, loss of precision, stability, condition number, roots of nonlinear equations, numerical solutions of linear equation systems (direct/iterative), interpolation (vandermonde, divided differences, spline), curve fitting (linear and nonlinear-regression), numerical derivative, numerical integration, numerical solutions of differential equations, overview of advanced topics in numerical analysis (additional topics)

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) They can perform computer coding of real numbers, function approximation (Taylor) and truncation, condition number analysis and error analysis in the basic computer environment.
2) They can solve the real roots of nonlinear functions or Linear Equation systems of equations in the form Ax=b with direct or iterative solution algorithms.
3) They can derive solver equations to calculate the unknowns of interpolation or statistical regression functions used to model a given data set.
4) They can calculate derivatives, integrals, and solution of first order differential equations numerically.
5) They can predict the convergence, stability, or order of error level of the method.
