Organization:
This course consists of 3 hours scheduled lecture and tutorial on Friday (Room:
A309) per week for 15 weeks.
Tutorials
A set of numerical exercises on different topics will be given, and students are
required to work on the exercises. The instructor will discuss with students the
problematic parts during the tutorial sessions
Modelling Assignments
During lectures and tutorial sessions, modelling assignments will be introduced
Students will be required to have latest Matlab and Power Word software installed
in their computers
