What will I learn?
This Numerical Methods Course guides you step by step through modeling an axially loaded steel column, deriving the nonlinear governing equation, and selecting effective root-finding algorithms. You will practice implementing Newton–Raphson, bisection, and secant methods, set meaningful stopping criteria, perform sensitivity and uncertainty analysis, verify results, and clearly communicate final stresses, deformations, and safety checks in a professional format.
