Overview

This course aims to introduce the student to how to formulate the physical issue in a mathematical model and the ability to use numerical analysis to solve the sports model and solve and address physical issues in various branches using computer.

Intended learning outcomes

By the end of the study of this course, the student will be able to:1- It classifies differential equations.2- It uses the existing algorithms and modify them to suit the issue.3- Determines the phenomenon and turns it into a picture of an issue that can be studied.4- The computer is used to solve physical issues and the ability to throw and explain the summary of the research project assigned to it.5- It designs a computer program to solve issues.6- It is used by computer and ready-made software through the information network.
