Natural and Social Science
Course Name Computational Methods
Course Code: ECEg3101
3 Synopsis: The course aims at introducing students in finding numerical solutions to problems for
which analytical solutions either do not exist or are not readily or cheaply obtainable. It
enables students to apply linear algebra and calculus. It also aims to helps student
develop programming skills.
