COURSE SYLLABUS

By the end of the course, the students will be able to:

1. state the graphical interpretation of a root using bisection method
2. demonstrate the graphical interpretation of the false-position method and why it is usually
superior to the bisection method.
3. distinguish the difference between bracketing and open methods for root location.
4. determine the fundamentals of false-position, secant, multiple roots, roots of polynomials, and
Pseudocodes.
5. set up one dimensional unconstrained optimization.
6. design an algorithm in selected engineering applications.
