Level: U 6 units Graded P/D/F
Introduction to computational tools and their use in solving engineering problems, analyzing data, and presenting scientific results. Techniques for the practical use of spreadsheets (XESS), mathematical and numerical analysis packages (MATLAB), symbolic algebra (MAPLE), and other Athena-based software packages are presented. Issues of computational accuracy and efficiency are discussed. Emphasizes problem solving using available software packages, not programming or algorithmic development. Enrollment may be limited.
ENROLLMENT IS FULL. CONTACT MARIE STUPPARD TO BE ADDED TO WAIT LIST: mas@mit.edu
This IAP, the course will focus on the use of MATLAB to the solution of aerospace related problems. The class will cover the Matlab environment and syntax, special functions and packages,techniques for setting up and solving problems, issues of computational accuracy and algorithm efficiency.
