Course Objective

This course is aimed to provide the tools needed for solving the mathematical problems, numerically. It includes the topics about the solution of transcendental, ordinary differential and partial differential equations encountered in the boundary and initial value types of heat transfer problems.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   to develop ability of mathematical modeling and solution of engineering problems
2   to know solution of linear and nonlinear equations and systems, optimization, and numerical methods such as curve fitting and apply them to engineering problems.
3   to know the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations, and apply these concepts in solving engineering problems
4   to know the numerical solution of partial differential equations, and apply these concepts in solving engineering problems
5   to model and solve special cases encountered in heat transfer
