Browse Hierarchy EMS418U: Computational and Mathematical Modelling 2

This module builds on Computational and Mathematical Modelling 1 to provide students with knowledge of more advanced mathematical and computational techniques that are essential for Engineering students. Mathematical topics covered are differential vector algebra, vector calculus and introduction to ordinary differential equations. Students will further develop programming techniques using Python. The module will provide an introduction to the modelling and analysis of one-degree-of-freedom mechanical systems. It includes an analysis of the motion (kinematics) of particles and considers the forces causing these motions (kinetics) by the application of Newton¿s laws of motion. Analytical and computational methods for the solution of the differential equations describing the equations of motion will be studied.
