4. E. T. S. I. Caminos, Canales y Puertos4 Introduction Why are Numerical Methods so widely used in Engineering?  Engineers use mathematical modeling (equations and data) to describe and predict behavior of systems.  Closed-form (analytical) solutions are only possible and complete for simple problems (geometry, properties, etc.).  Digital computers are widely available, powerful, and cheap.  Powerful software packages are available (special or general purpose).

5. E. T. S. I. Caminos, Canales y Puertos5 Introduction Applications of Numerical Methods in Engineering? Structural/mechanical analysis, design, and behavior: Buildings, dams, bridges, towers Plants, assembly lines, machines Communication/power Network simulation Train and traffic networks Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD): Weather prediction Groundwater & pollutant movement Ocean circulation Dam break and flood routing

6. E. T. S. I. Caminos, Canales y Puertos6 Introduction Why study Numerical Methods? Numerical Analysis is a Discipline:  Need to understand concepts and theory - Know what problems can be solved. - Know what problems cannot be solved, or when problems will be troublesome.  Need to understand methods and techniques - Know why methods work, or judge when they are working. - Be able to create or modify tools (software) as needed. - Evaluate errors, convergence, and stability of arithmetic approximations.

7. E. T. S. I. Caminos, Canales y Puertos7 Introduction Why study Numerical Methods? (continued) Use of Numerical Methods is an Art: Numerical methods are approximate. The most appropriate method(s) is not always obvious. Evaluating precision and accuracy is an essential part of the process.

15. E. T. S. I. Caminos, Canales y Puertos15 Introduction Teams Objectives: - To simulate professional practice, students will work in teams when doing the homework and computer assignments. - Research shows it is advantageous for the teams to be of mixed ability and for all team members to take responsibility for the work and success of other team members. Implementation: - Teams will be organized freely or assigned by the Professor. - All members of every team will be responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the assignment and any violations of academic integrity.
