Motivation
• During your carrier or academic study
• Use of prepackaged computer program
• Dealing with problem can not be handled with commercial software or solved
analytically
What is the meaning of numerical method ?
• Numerical methods are techniques that used to formulate
mathematical problems so that they can be solved using
computations.

EXAMPLE 1.1
A bungee jumper with a mass of 68.1 kg leaps from a
stationary hot air balloon. Use Eq. (1.9) to compute velocity for
the first 12 s of free fall. Also determine the terminal velocity
that will be attained for an infinitely long cord (or alternatively,
the jumpmaster is having a particularly bad day!). Use a drag
coefficient of 0.25 kg/m.
