Overview

The One-Week Hands-on Workshop on MATLAB-Driven Numerical Methods for Engineering and Physical Sciences is designed to equip participants with practical skills in solving complex mathematical and engineering problems using modern computational techniques. The program focuses on the implementation of core numerical methods—such as root finding, matrix computations, interpolation, integration, and differential equations—through the MATLAB environment.

This workshop bridges the gap between theoretical concepts and real-world applications, enabling participants to translate mathematical models into efficient computational solutions. Emphasis is placed on algorithm development, accuracy analysis, and simulation of engineering and physical systems.

Objectives

• To develop a strong foundation in numerical methods for solving engineering and physical science problems
• To enable participants to implement numerical algorithms using MATLAB effectively
• To understand concepts of error analysis, convergence, and numerical stability
• To apply numerical techniques to real-world engineering systems and scientific models
• To enhance computational thinking and problem-solving skills
• To provide hands-on experience in modeling, simulation, and data analysis
• To bridge the gap between mathematical theory and practical implementation
• To prepare participants for research, industry applications, and advanced computational work
