Numerical linear algebra: applications in computational methods and their importance to engineering

Abstract

The present work aims to validate the importance oflinear algebra in computational methods and engineering courses, showing not only theoretical aspects but also practical applications of the discipline. Although the concepts of this area of mathematics are widely diffused in their theoretical field, their applicability often goes unnoticed, especially in the initial semesters of engineering courses, thus contributing to a difficult visualization of their usability. In this way, the need arises to demonstrate how the concepts apply in solving problems faced by engineers. In fact, these applications can be seen not only in computing, but also in other engineering. Therefore, it is essential to approach some of these uses, as well as their respective methods of implementation
