Coordinators:
Dr. B. Dasgupta
and
Dr. R. Tiwari

* Mathematical Modelling         * Numerical Algorithms         * MATLAB as a Tool

Objectives of the Course:

Cutting-edge frontiers in technology and global competition has made it imperative for industry to continuously strengthen its research activities, a significant component of which involves problem formulation, analysis and computation. This component of research is vital also in the work of the personnel belonging to the R&D establishments.

The purpose of this course is to train design and R&D personnel in such organizations in Scientific Computation and MATLAB, and to assist them in discovering the power of these tools for problem solving in science and engineering. College/university teachers are also welcome.

Course Contents:

Fundamental Issues in Scientific Computing; Introduction and Overview of MATLAB; Important Algorithms in Numerical Linear Algebra, Optimization, Mathematical Modelling and Differential Equations; Problem Solving and Graphics Applications in MATLAB; Hands-on Lab Sessions.

Course Fees:

General category: Rs.5000/-

College teacher / students: Rs.2000/-
