Course
MAT201Complex Variables and Partial Differential Equations
Prerequisites
Objectives
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.
ExpectedOutcome
By the end of the course, students should be able to 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.
