MAT 161 Computer Programming and Applications for Engineers

This is a beginning course in problem solving using computers, covering problem formulation, algorithm development and coding in a high level structured programming language. Sources of error in numerical computations and fundamental numerical algorithms are discussed. Among the algorithms are those for numeric integration, numeric differentiation, root finding, the solving of systems of linear equations and solving differential equations. 11 (3 lecture hours and 2 laboratory hours) Prerequisit: MAT 131 with a minimum grade of C
