Advanced Math Methods for Chemical Engineers

4.0 credits

This course intends to present the mathematical methods needed to solve various chemical engineering problems. A rapid review of basic concepts of ordinary differential equations and linear algebra will occur. More advanced topics in linear algebra and ordinary differential equations will be presented, including methods for solving partial differential equations, and a brief introduction to perturbation methods for attacking nonlinear differential equations. Problems will include (i) introduction of method using straightforward mathematical equations and (ii) chemical engineering problems that require some formulation of equations from basic chemical engineering principles.
