An introduction to the use of mathematical methods in applied civil engineering problems. Topics include: matrix solution methods for systems of coupled equations, eigenvalue problems, and coordinate transformations; optimization and linear programming; and the solution of differential equations describing non-stationary physical systems using analytical, finite difference and finite element methods. Numerical techniques using computer programs are emphasized. Prerequisite(s): CMPT 142.3 (taken), CE 225.3 (taken), (CE 213.3 (taken) or GE 213.3 (taken)), and MATH 224.3 (taken).
