MAE 376—Applied Mathematics for MAE

Considers the solution of engineering problems using computational methods. Topics include linear algebra, sets of linear and nonlinear equations, ordinary differential equations, and matrix eigen values. Also covers topics in statistics (particularly with normal distributions) and engineering applications involving error analysis. Considers interpolation, splines, and nonlinear curve fitting as time permits. Programming will be required and will build on the basis of earlier Matlab or equivalent language instruction
