Trim 2

The Module aims to introduce students to the various techniques of numerical analysis applied to transcendental equations, mathematical functions, matrix algebra and differential equations.  The module will deal with these topics at a basic level, leaving more advanced techniques to the specialist courses in Engineering.

Having successfully completed the module, students should be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of:

  1. Numerical analysis as applied to simple mathematical topics.
  2. The implications of basic numerical analysis.
  3. Presenting simple arguments and conclusions using numerical analysis.
  4. Analyzing and evaluating problems in mathematics and engineering.
  5. Apply the mathematical knowledge to solve problems in range of Engineering situations.

  6. Carry out mathematical and numerical manipulation with confidence and accuracy.
  7. Solve open-ended problems and problems with well-defined solutions by formulating problems in precise terms, identifying key issues and trying different approaches in order to make progress.
  8. Carry out an independent investigation using textbooks and other available literature, searching databases and interacting with colleagues and staff to extract important information.
