Description
Numerical modeling is a very powerful branch of mathematics. It’s capable to solve very complex problems using very simple techniques.
It is a branch that can differentiate and integral without the need to use any of the sometimes complex differentiation and integration rules. It can create best fit models with just knowing a data set. And create functions where the only thing we know is its derivative and a condition. And best of all, it can generate approximations that have such a low percentage error that they are as good as the true value.
But…
There is a limitation to numerical methods. They depend on iterative calculations. If for example, you want an approximation with a low error, for example, 0.001%, this will require a large number of calculations which can be sometimes impossible to do by hand not to mention tedious. This is where programming comes in.
In this course, I will walk you through not only the workings of each technique but a step-by-step process on how to program each of these techniques and perform hundreds if not thousands of calculations with a click of a button using one of the most popular programming languages – Python.
The great thing about programming languages is they all follow the same programming structure, sequence, repetition, and decision making. Meaning, if you know one language you can learn another very easily by just knowing how these structures are defined in the new language.
In this course, you’ll have a very good grasp of this structure so if you decide to learn another language afterward it will be very easy.
Who this course is for:
- Students enrolled in their first numerical Methods Class and interested in additional mentoring
- Who students interested to learn the most common Numerical Methods Techniques used in science and engineering
- Students interested in understanding how to program and create Numerical Modeling Techniques
