Frequency code B = offered at least once per year
Student Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Design numerical algorithms to calculate solutions to a range of problems in physics and engineering.
- Calculate approximate solutions to problems that cannot be solved, or simply solved, with analytical techniques.
- Explain the operation of common algorithms related to root finding and calculus.
- Use the appropriate data types for a given problem, including scalars, arrays, and matrices.
- Implement fundamental programming structures such as loops and conditional statements to perform calculations.
- Identify when a code is not working correctly and apply debugging procedures to correct errors.
