Basic methods in numerical analysis will be oerviewd in the context of various themes in Chemical-Engineering, such as mass-balances, thermodynamics, separation, flow in a channel, correlations, heat transfer and reactors. The numerical implementation in Matlab and Polymath will include code-writing and algorythmic elements.
Syllabus
I. Mathematical modeling.
II. Matrix operation.
III. Basic algorithms.
IV. Logic and boolean operations.
V. Set of linear equations.
VI. Polynomial approxiamtions (linearization, interpolation-extrapolation).
VII. Solution of nonlinear equation.
VIII. Optimization
IX. Regression (linear and nonlinear).
X. Solution of an ordinary differential equation.
