-This original course made use of Dorfman and Daotidis's "Numerical Methods with Chemical Engineering Applications" as a primary textbook. A list of the chapters of Dorfman and Daoutidis that correspond to each tutorial is provided below. We should, however, note that the enclosed material was design to be used in a stand-alone fashion and may be readily integrated into other courses.
