Course Description
Numerical techniques for solving difficulties arising in heat as well as mass transfer, liquid mechanics, chemical reaction manufacturing, and also molecular simulation. Topics: numerical linear algebra, solution of nonlinear algebraic equations and also standard differential equations, solution of partial differential equations (e.g. Navier-Stokes), numerical techniques in molecular simulation (mechanics, geometry optimization).
