CODE 86787 ACADEMIC YEAR 2016/2017 CREDITS 3 cfu anno 1 INGEGNERIA MECCANICA - PROGETTAZIONE E PRODUZIONE (LM-33) - SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINARY SECTOR MAT/08 LANGUAGE Italiano TEACHING LOCATION SEMESTER 1° Semester MODULES Questo insegnamento è un modulo di: MATHEMATICAL METHODS FOR ENGINEERING OVERVIEW The course aims to provide the student knowledge about numerical methods for mechanical engineering problems, particularly with regard to the solution of systems of nonlinear equations, systems of ordinary differential equations, data fitting and optimization. AIMS AND CONTENT TEACHING METHODS The time-schedule of the course is two hours per week in the first semester. The module consists of a theoretical part complemented by laboratory exercises carried out in Matlab. SYLLABUS/CONTENT The module aims to provide the basic elements of numerical analysis. The purpose is to acquire a knowledge of numerical methods and their implementation, with a focus on stability analysis, accuracy and convergence of the methods. The lectures are complemented by laboratory exercises carried out using Matlab, one of the most used programming languages for scientific computing. 1. Numerical methods for solving systems of nonlinear equations. 2. Interpolation polynomial, data fitting, least squares method. 2. Numerical solution of ordinary differential equations. 2. Numerical methods for unconstrained and constrained optimization. RECOMMENDED READING/BIBLIOGRAPHY • Lecture notes of the couse are available in aulaweb; • Quarteroni, F.
