Mathematics of Engineering
ME17, Spring Quarter 2008

Meets: MWF 2:00-2:50, starting March 31
Buchanan 1940



Course Description:

In this course, students will review and learn mathematical techniques necessary for success as an engineer, both in future coursework and on the job. Given the difficulty of solving most realistic engineering problems analytically, the emphasis will be on the understanding and use of computational algorithms. In the process, students will develop a strong working knowledge of Matlab, which is an integrated technical computing environment that combines numeric computation, advanced graphics and visualization, and a high-level programming language.
