Course Objectives	This undergraduate course is designed for engineering students. The objective of this course is to introduce some numerical methods that can be used to solve mathematical problems arising in engineering that can not be solved analytically. The philosophy of this course is to teach engineering students how methods work so that they can construct their own computer programs.
Course Learning Outcomes	The students who succeeded in this course; solve a non-linear equation in science and engineering by using the MATLAB programming. solve a linear system by using a suitable method in science and engineering via the MATLAB programming. find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a given matrix. learn how to use the interpolation. learn how to derive the approximations for the derivatives. learn the approximate computation of an integral using numerical techniques.
Course Content	Solution of nonlinear equations, solution of linear systems, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, interpolation and polynomial approximation, least square approximation, numerical differentiation, numerical integration.
