*The Final WW Date is the final date from which you can withdraw from the unit without academic penalty, however you will still incur a financial liability (see
Withdrawal dates explained for more information).
Fundamental numerical processes for obtaining approximate but useful solutions to mathematical models of practical engineering problems. Topics include: errors in computations; solution of linear and non-linear equations arising from problems in the physical sciences and engineering; approximation of functions; numerical integration and differentiation; eigenvalues and eigenvectors and their numerical calculation. An introduction to ordinary differential equations: first and second order equations; forced responses; solution using Laplace transforms; separation of variables to solve some partial differential equations. The numerical solution of ordinary differential equations.
Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.
Campus - H Hobart, L Launceston, W Burnie. Study Centre - V Sydney, R Rozelle. Distance units may also have a campus identifier of I Isolated, N Interstate, O Overseas. Units delivered in Transnational Education (TNE) Programs have a campus identifier of A Hangzhou, F Fuzhou, G Shanghai, J Indonesia, K KDU Malaysia, Q Kuwait or Z New Zealand.
Special approval is required for enrolment into TNE Program units - campuses A, F, G, J, K, Q and Z click here for more information.
