Course Outline: Course
pre-requisite: Eng.4422. Also, a good working knowledge of spreadsheets such
as EXCEL is required. If the students
need a quick review in the use of spreadsheets, the class representative can
schedule a tutorial or two for this purpose.
The students may need to brush up on their MATLAB knowledge as
well.

Assessment Procedure:
|
Class Assignments |
10% (includes computer work -use of Spread Sheets like EXCEL, and/or programming, including MATLAB. Unless otherwise specified, assignments are due one week from the date of giving. Marks may be reduced for late submission. If a TA is not available for the course for any reason, the assignment marks will be equally reassigned towards the midterm and final exams.) |
|
Midterm Test |
30% (March 2) |
|
Final Examination |
60% |
|
Text Book: The course material does not have a prescribed textbook. However, the book prescribed for ENG 4422 (if you have it) can be used as supplementary reading material. For Reading: Akai, T.J.,. "Applied Numerical Methods for Engineers," John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Gerald, C.F., and P.O. Wheatly,. "Applied Numerical Analysis," Sixth Ed., Addison-Wesley Publishing Co. O’Neil, P.,. "Advanced Engineering Mathematics," Third Ed., Wadsworth Publishing Co. Epperson, J.F.,. "An Introduction to Numerical Methods and Analysis," John Wiley & Sons. |

NOTE: |
Please note that
prewritten solutions may or may not be available for the assignments. However, the tutorials are specifically
marked for discussing the relevant solutions.
At that time, if the students ask for it, the problems can be
discussed and may be partially or fully solved in class. If the students do not raise their need for
discussion of the problems, the time will be spent on solving other example
problems, etc. The same policy holds
for midterm exams and quizzes, if any. Several handouts, example solutions using EXCEL are posted at the course website: www.engr.mun.ca/~adluri/courses/num_meth. The students are expected to make use of the various files and ask for help if needed. The Faculty of Engineering does not encourage students skipping lectures.
Even if lectures are skipped by a few or all the students in the class, the
lectures could go on and the corresponding course material may not be
repeated at a later time. This is especially true in the case of D-Day
activities of the students. This policy is included here as per the
instructions of the Dean of Engineering. |

Handouts
and extra material for the students to help in their understanding:
|
Intro’ |
Example for user
defined functions in EXCEL -DOC file |
|
Ordinary Differential Equations -First Order |
Handout for various procedures
|
|
Systems of ODE -Initial Value Problems |
Application: Predator-Prey model Conversion of higher order
ODE to a system of First order ODE |
|
Stiff Equations |
|
Eigen Values |
|
|
|
Example for Faddeeve-Leverrier- principal stresses |
|
Fourier Analysis |
|
Partial Differential equations are slightly cumbersome to be solved
using spreadsheets. Interested
students may use MATLAB or other tools for this purpose. |
