SYNOPSIS

This course formally introduces the steps involve in engineering analysis (mathematical modeling, solving
the governing equation, and interpretation of the results). Example of case studies in applied mechanics,
strength of materials, themal science, and fluid mechanics are presented. Methods for solving the
nonlinear equations, simultaneous linear algebraic equations, eigenvalue problem, interpolation,
numerical differentiation, numerical integration, initial value problems, boundary value problem and
partial differential equation are introduced.
