This is the third video in the Solving ATEs Supplement to SCoRE, a Self-Study Course on Reaction Engineering (https://buffalobadger.github.io/SCoRE/). SCoRE is based on the online book, “Reaction Engineering Basics” (https://buffalobadger.github.io/RE_Basics/).
This video describes how to use the Matlab function, fsolve, to solve sets of ATEs. It then solves the set of ATEs from the example introduced in the first video.
