This is a Graduate Lower Level Special Topics Course taught at the Rochester Institute of Technology during Spring 2019 by Dr. P. Venkataraman
Course Description:
Course will emphasize integration of Numerical, Symbolic, Graphical, and Textual Computation in MATLAB in Mechanical Engineering. Topics include MATLAB Graphics, Solving ODEs, Solving PDEs, Coordinate Systems, MATLAB Arrays, Data Handling, Optimization and other miscellaneous topics.
Prerequisite:
Knowledge of Mechanical Engineering Topics and completed Heat Transfer (MECE 310 )
Course Features: This is the first offering for the course. Your feedback will be very useful and appreciated for subsequent offerings.
Course Objective:
Just following the lectures will not accomplish this. You must be interested and extend what you learn in class.
Grades:
Text Books: You should learn a lot in the course through hands-on coding during lectures.
In addition: the following are also available free.
My resources
My eBook on MATLAB- free for registered students if you promise not to share
Math and MATLAB (very old but mostly valid primer on MATLAB Programming)
A MATLAB Course (Old - MATLAB 6 version a - complete course - still valid)
MATLAB and ME - Examples from ME Core Courses) - the links do not work well because the new browsers don't support javascript well.
Other Books
OER Books in Matlab/Engineering (these are free books)
Books listed by MAthworks (may not be free)
Topics:
The course will develop through the following Topics. In this first version it is likely some topics may not be covered based on the pace of the class since it is hands-on.
