Computational Methods in Aerospace Engineering: Course Description
This free, undergraduate course, from MIT's Aeronautics and Astronautics Department, is designed to introduce students to the computational methods used in aerospace engineering. In it, students become familiarized with techniques that include finite-difference, eigenvalue problems, numerical linear algebra and finite-volume. Applications in this course are drawn from areas of the aerospace field, including aerospace systems and structures, as well as aerodynamics. Examples of other key topics covered include accuracy and convergence, as well as various methods, including implicit and stiffness, Runge-Kutta and Monte Carlo. Professor David Darmofal teaches this course.
'Computational Methods in Aerospace Engineering' consists of lecture notes, former students' projects, sample project sets, final exam preparation materials and student assignments. To access this free online course, visit the computational methods OpenCourseWare page.
