CBE 100 - Introduction to Numerical Methods in Engineering

Course Overview

An introduction to the fundamentals of numerical analysis and the computer algorithms in MATLAB for the solution of engineering problems, with emphasis on problems arising in chemical engineering thermodynamics, transport phenomena, and reaction engineering.

Course Tips

Focus on why a numerical method works, not just the MATLAB syntax. Treat coding like learning a new language.

Study Strategies

Don't become overly reliant on AI for debugging and run every piece of code yourself. Note that exams are highly conceptual.

Other Advice

Challenge problems live up to their name. Visit office hours for guidance.
