Programming

• Any engineering equation can be expressed as a
  function
• This course will allow us to solve these
  functions
• Numerical analysis techniques lend themselves to
  computer programming
• Where do we start?

5

Nuts and bolts
VERY IMPORTANT
6
Algorithms, Flowcharts, and Pseudocode
7
Flowchart Symbols
8
Fundamental Control Structures

• 1. Sequence
• 2. Selection
• 3. Repetition
• Any program can be constructed using only
  these three operations
