CEN 205 Live Lecture 24 ( Curve fitting-Quadratic and Expotential Function )

Chapter 5
(5.2 Curve fitting-Quadratic and Expotential Function )
This course is a study of mathematical techniques used to model engineering systems. It involves the development of mathematical models and the application of the computer to solve engineering problems using the following computational techniques: Taylor Series approximation, numerical differentiation, root-finding using bracketing and open methods, linear and polynomial curve fitting, solution methods for matrix equations, numerical integration, and the solution of differential equations. After completing this course student will able to
1. Demonstrate understanding of common numerical methods and how they are used to obtain approximate solutions to otherwise intractable mathematical problems.
2. Apply numerical methods to obtain approximate solutions to mathematical problems.
3. Derive numerical methods for various mathematical operations and tasks, such as interpolation, differentiation, integration, the solution of linear and nonlinear equations, and the solution of differential equations.
4. Analyse and evaluate the accuracy of common numerical methods.
5. Implement numerical methods in Matlab.
6. Write efficient, well-documented Matlab code and present numerical results in an informative way.
