Description

A continuation of EMTH118. Topics covered include methods and Engineering applications of calculus, differential equations, and linear algebra, along with an introduction to probability. This course is a prerequisite for many courses in engineering mathematics and other subjects at 200 level.

Learning Outcomes

  • Students who have succeeded in this course will be able to
  • use calculus, algebra or probability to
      - solve first and second order differential equations
      - find Taylor approximations to functions
      - calculate determinants, eigenvalues and eigenvectors
      - calculate mean and variance of random variables and solve probability problems arising in engineering applications  
      -  evaluate integrals arising in mathematics and engineering
      - investigate the geometry of multivariable functions and classify critical points
  • demonstrate understanding of the mathematical topics in the course by
      - giving definitions of fundamental concepts
      - competent manipulation of functions, matrices, and random variables
      - choosing effective solution techniques for given problems
      - verifying correctness of mathematical calculations
  • describe and interpret the meaning of mathematical solutions to engineering problems (particularly differential equations and random variables)
  • synthesise material from different sections of course (for example, using integration techniques and limit evaluation to solve differential equation or probability problems)
