At the conclusion of this course students should be able to

• implement complex problems from numerical mathematics
as well as problems from continuum mechanics
• abstract problems within the scope of algorithms
• implement algorithms using classical procedural FORTRAN language (version 77, 90 and higher)
• implement algorithms using an object orientated approach with the language C++.
• map realistic objects to simple container structures
• implement an object orientated class library for a complex problem from civil engineering.

• Basic development cycle within a command window using explicit compiler calls
• Procedural approach using arrays and structures.
• Working with files.
• Memory mapping implementing a quasi dynamical memory management within FORTRAN 77.
• Dynamic memory management using FORTRAN 90 and C++.
• Implementation of a class library to calculate section values arbitrary profiles made up of simple two node line elements using the thin walled approximation.
