CENSCP33Z – NUMERICAL SOLUTIONS TO CE PROBLEMS
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The course provides background on numerical analysis
needed to solve civil engineering problems numerically when
their analytical solution is either not available or difficult to
obtain. MATLAB programming environment or its equivalent
will be introduced and used in the course.

What are numerical methods and why should
you study them?
Numerical methods are techniques by which mathematical
problems are formulated so that they can be solved with
arithmetic and logical operations.
CENSCP33Z – NUMERICAL SOLUTIONS TO CE PROBLEMS
What are numerical methods and why should
you study them?
1. Numerical methods greatly expand the
types of problems you can address.

Demonstration Using a Simple Mathematical
Model
Suppose that a bungee-jumping company hires you. You’re
given the task of predicting the velocity of a jumper as a
function of time during the free-fall part of the jump.
This information will be used as part of a larger analysis to
determine the length and required strength of the bungee cord
for jumpers of different mass.
