Computers have become a powerful tool in the field of engineering. Before the widespread availability of computers, mathematical models of engineering problems needed to be simplified to the point that the calculations could be reliably performed by a single individual using a calculator or slide rule, and, fortunately, for many engineering problems, simplified models were adequate. However, as process complexity and engineering design complexity increased, engineers increasingly turned to computers for help in managing and automating the large number of calculations required.
The goal of this book is to provide the reader with an understanding of standard computational methods for approximating the solution to common problems in Chemical and Biomedical Engineering.
• Covers the most common numerical calculations used by engineering students
• Covers Numerical Differentiation and Integration, Initial Value Problems, Boundary Value Problems, and Partial Differential Equations
• Focuses on open ended, real world problems that require students to write a short report/memo as part of the solution process
• Includes an electronic download of the Python codes presented in the book
