Catalogue data
| Abstract | Fundamental Computational Methods for data analysis, modeling and simulation relevant to Engineering applications. The course emphasizes the implementation of these methods using object oriented programming in C++ with application examples drawn from Engineering applications |
| Objective | The course aims to introduce Engineering students to fundamentals of Interpolation, Solution of non-linear equations, Filtering and Numerical Integration. The course aims to integrate numerical methods with enhancing the students programming skills in object oriented languages. The course serves as foundation for Computational Methods in Engineering Applications II (Fall Semester), that is concerned with Ordinary and Partial Differential Equations. |
| Lecture notes | Lecture Notes will be distributed in class |
| Literature | 1. Introduction to Applied Mathematics, G. Strang 2. Analysis of Numerical Methods, Isaacson and Keller |
| Prerequisites / Notice | - Informatik - A course on the interface of classical (first principle) and Data driven models in computing. Fundamental algorithms for inference, approximation and optimisation. Bridging the gap of Computational and Data sciences. |
