|
| Course contents : | This course gives a first overview on the use of numerical methods in order to handle problems in different fields of application. Numerical methods are indeed an important part of the engineering work. They are used to analyze complex systems based on the simulation of their behaviour.
The students will have to solve a problem similar to a real engineering application using the MATLAB® software. In particular, they will have to solve the problem numerically but also to learn how to use the different tools provided in MATLAB®. |
|
| Course objective : | + Solving engineering problems using numerical methods.
+ Analysis of the numerical outcome (error analysis, ...)
+ Knowing the MATLAB® software.
+ Presentation of the results
+ Team work |
|
| Prerequisites : | Basic knowledge of algebra, calculus, chemistry and physics. |
|
| Workshops : | Introduction to MATLAB®.
Numerical resolution of a real problem (groups of 3 students). |
|
| Organization : | The course is given in the second semester.
+ Five theoretical lectures are given on Wednesday from 4 to 6 pm.
+ Two introductory and practical courses on MATLAB®.
+ Four practical sessions. |
|
| Written notes : | Lecture notes will be available from the "centrale des cours". |
|
| Assessment : | + During the June exam session, the evaluation is based on the practical project using three criteria:
1/ An evaluation made during the project (20% of the final grade)
2/ A short written report (35% of the final grade)
3/ An individual oral exam (45% of the final grade)
+ During the September session, the evaluation is based on
1/ An oral exam on the project (45% of the final grade)
2/ The student can choose either to take a written exam based on the theory and some exercises (55% of the final grade), or to keep the grades obtained from the evaluation of the project in June. |
