SILVER OAK UNIVERSITY

Engineering and Technology

Bachelor of Engineering
Subject Name: Complex variables and Numerical methods
Subject Code: 1010273207
Branch: MECH/AERO
Semester: IV

Prerequisite: Calculus, Algebra

Objective: Understand the different numerical methods to solve problems in the field of engineering.
These numerical methods are programmable too, so that students will be able to get solution of the
problems easily. The concepts of complex numbers and their properties is essential in many engineering
disciplines. Hence the study of the complex analysis is required.
