Complex Variables and Partial Differential

This course attempts to cover certain basic, important

computer oriented numerical methods for analyzing problems
that arise in engineering and physical sciences. The students
are expected to use MATLAB as the primary computer
language to obtain solutions to a few assigned problems.
Expected
By the end of the course, students should be able to
Outcome
appreciate the power of numerical methods and use them to
analyze the problems connected with data analysis, and
solution of ordinary and partial differential equations that arise
in their respective engineering courses.
