ENG EK 514 - Computational Methods for Continuum ProblemsPrereq

Institution:

Boston University

Subject:

Description:

CAS MA 242 (or equivalent), and ENG EK 307 (or equivalent), and ENG EC 453 (or any other course that uses Vector Calculus). The structure of problems involving positive definite quadratic forms is developed by considering circuit theory and continuum problems. Direct variational methods, finite elements, the conjugate gradient method developed for positive definite (elliptic) problems, and the fast Fourier transform are presented. 4 cr. TOP OF PAGE ENG BE 200 Introduction to ProbabilityPrereq: CAS MA 225 and ENG EK 127. An introductory course designed for sophomore engineering students that introduces the fundamentals of probability and statistics without the use of transforms. Coverage includes multiple random variables, expectation, Markov chains, and statistical testing. Computer simulations of probabilistic systems are included. Examples are taken from engineering systems. This course cannot be taken for credit in addition to ENG EC 381. 2 cr.
