Eng. Analysis (Comp. of stress, disp., veloc. fields)

Analysis:

Math Analysis (Thm., proofs)

Hamming 1962 (Bell labs): goal of computation is insight (e.g., eng. anal. for opt. design, understand response...)

3 important classes of num. meths of 20th century:

EGM 6241 includes topics related to FDM (int. ODEs) and spectral math. (Clenshaw Curtis quad, FFT), also FEM (for time-dep pbs, solving ODEs)
 * Finite diff. math (FDM), 1950s
 * Finite elem. math (FEM): 1960s
 * Spectral math: 1970s

Num. int. (Atkinson, p249)

$$f\mathrm{\colon }\left\lbrack a,b\right\rbrack \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$$ 1-2 $$ f:= x \rightarrow f(x)$$ where x is the domain and f(x) is the range. $$\in $$ = belongs to, is an elem. of

$$\left\lbrack a,b\right\rbrack $$ = interval, closed (i.e., a, b, $$\in \left\lbrack a,b\right\rbrack $$)

]a, b[ = open interval (i.e., $$a,b\notin \left(a,b\right)$$)

$$\mathbb{R}$$ = set of real numbers $$\left\lbrack a,b\right\rbrack \subset \mathbb{R}$$

Note: At beginning of lecture, course organization: Wiki, syllabus, important docs to read, important videos to watch
