This class introduces mathematical and numerical tools relevant to practical applications in mechanical engineering.  Emphasis is placed on learning how to model real physical systems using mathematical formulation.  This will be followed by the presentation of engineering tools to obtain analytical and/or numerical solutions of the problems.  Finally, validation of the analytical models/tools will be verified by comparing the solutions to experimental results.  Subjects covered in the class include: Fourier Series and Integrals; Fourier Transform, FFT, and energy spectrum; solution of partial differential equations using separation of variables; finite difference and finite element methods; numerical interpolation and integration.
