Numerical linear algebra including solution of systems of equations and eigenvalue problems and numerical solution of ordinary/partial differential equations by finite difference methods. Credit will not be awarded for MEGR 7172 where credit has been awarded for MEGR 8172.
Python Programming and Numerical Methods
Qingkai Kong, Timmy Siauw, and Alexandre M. Bayen.
This textbook is free to download through UNCC library website.
The objective of this course is to provide the students with an understanding of computational methods:
- Fundamental Python Programming
- Numerical integration/Gradient Calculation
- Interpolation
- Fundamental linear algebra,
- Systems of equations and linear regression
- Optimizations
- Root finding and partial differential equations
- Error analysis
It is likely that some topics won't be covered due to the time restriction.
