421-402 Mathematics for Engineers Unit 4.1

Credit points: 7.1

Coordinator: Assoc. Prof. R. L. Hughes

Prerequisite: An Honour in Mathematics for Engineers Unit 3.1 (or equivalent)

Contact: 26 hours of lectures and 13 hours of tutorials

Timetable: First semester

Objectives:

On completion of this course students should have:

a background in interchanging problems between variational form (as is used in the finite element method of numerical analysis for instance) and differential equation form
an understanding of the methods for evaluating difficult integrals which commonly occur in engineering situations

Content:

Part 1 Calculus of Variations: Euler's equation, integral and algebraic constraints, Sturm-Liouville problems, Ritz method, numerical methods, adjoint problems.
Part 2 Advanced Complex Analysis: Series expansions, residues, contour integration. Asymptotic methods, stationary phase, steepest descent, WKB theory.

Assessment:

One three-hour examination at the end of first semester. Plus additional tests and assignments to a maximum value of 10%.
