These lecture notes were developed during the Spring Semester of 199(5 as handouts for an experimental course proposed by the author.
Whereas numerous excellent books have been written on related subjects, it was the author's objective to synthetase the most important aspects of Engineering Computing into a set of lecture notes.
It is assumed that student would have had a first course in programming, linear algebra, and differential equations.
Because most related books draw their examples from non-Civil Engineering disciplines, (and because of the author's background) most of the examples in these notes are taken from Structural Engineering/Mechanics. Hence, extensive derivation/explanation is provided prior to each problem for those students coining from unrelated disciplines.
