Overview
This unit introduces numerical analysis techniques for interpolation, root finding, integration, the solution of ordinary differential equations, and the analysis of data. The role computers play in the solution of modern aerospace engineering problems is emphasised through exposure to finite difference, finite volume and finite element techniques for partial differential equations, and the implementation of these techniques in commercial fluid dynamics and structural mechanics packages.

Learning outcomes
When you finish this unit, you should be able to:
- 1
Apply appropriate mathematical and numerical techniques to solve common engineering problems.
- 2
Construct algorithms and programs that can solve engineering problems by integrating multiple numerical techniques.
- 3
Apply these programs to engineering problems in order to generate solutions.
- 4
Analyse and interpret data using numerical techniques.
- 5
Assess algorithms, programs and solutions for error, stability and accuracy.
Workload and teaching
Minimum total expected workload to achieve the learning outcomes for this unit is 144 hours per semester typically comprising a mixture of scheduled learning activities and independent study. Independent study may include associated readings, assessment and preparation for scheduled activities. A unit requires on average three to five hours of scheduled activities per week. Scheduled activities may include a combination of teacher directed learning, peer directed learning and online engagement.
