Lesson Objectives • Identify the necessary steps of creating a program • Review flowcharts • Introduce algorithms and pseudocode • Review of Excel - example problem
Chapter 2 - Computers and Software Numerical Derivative What is the slope of the line?
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?
Revisions/Improvements Your plan of attack (includes equations) Nuts and bolts *VERY IMPORTANT*
Fundamental Control Structures 1. Sequence 2. Selection 3. Repetition *Any program can be constructed using only these three operations
