In this course, students will review and learn mathematical techniques necessary for suc- cess as an engineer, both in future coursework and on the job. Given the difficulty of solving most realistic engineering problems analytically, the emphasis will be on the un- derstanding and use of computational algorithms. In the process, students will develop a strong working knowledge of programming in Matlab, which is an integrated techni- cal computing environment that combines numeric computation, advanced graphics and visualization, and a high-level programming language. The course will cover: A Quick Introduction to Matlab, Iteration, Fibonacci, Debugging, Matrices, Linear Equations, Probability, Ordinary Differential Equations, Plotting.
