Course Outline

Analytical and exact methods can provide solutions for a limited class of problems. Practical real
life problems often require computational solutions of complicated mathematical problems for
arbitrarily shaped geometries and complicated material properties. Computers and numerical
methods provide an alternative for such complicated problems. This course will give an
introduction to numerical analysis for modeling various scientific problems. The advantages and
drawbacks of various computational techniques will be provided. Students will gain hands-on
experience for numerical solutions by developing simple computer codes.
