CH ENGR 109Numerical and Mathematical Methods in Chemical and Biological Engineering
Chemical Engineering · 4 units · Undergraduate upper division (100-199)
Numerical methods for computation of solution of systems or linear and nonlinear algebraic equations, ordinary differential equations, and partial equations. Chemical and biomolecular engineering examples used throughout to illustrate application of these methods. Use of MATLAB as platform (programming environment) to write programs based on numerical methods to solve various problems arising in chemical engineering.
