I took this course in the department of mechanical engineering. It is an upper division undergraduate course.
MAE185 Numerical Analysis in Mechanical Engineering (Credit Units: 4) S. Solution of mechanical-engineering equations by means of numerical methods. Errors in numerical analysis. Nonlinear equations and sets of equations. Numerical differentiation and integration. Ordinary differential equations. Boundary-value problems. Partial differential equations.
Prerequisites: MAE10, Mathematics 3D; Mathematics 2E or equivalent. Only one course from MAE185, CEE185, and Mathematics 105A may be taken for credit. (Design units: 2)
textbook: Applied Numerical Analysis, C.F. Gerald and P.O. Wheatley, 5th Edition, Addison Wesley, 1994.
Coordinator: Dr Chaudhry chaudhry@fullerton.edu
Course Objectives: An introductory course dealing with the solution of mechanical engineering equations by means of numerical methods. Students are trained in the development and application of standard numerical schemes to solve fundamental and practical engineering problems.
Prerequisites by Topic:
Class Schedule: Each class meets 3 hours per week and students are assigned to a 1 hour discussion session per week.
Computer Usage: Heavy computer usage. Students are required to develop computer programs for the solution of a design project.
