Subject Description

This subject introduces important mathematical methods required in engineering. Students should develop an ability to decompose matrices, represent elementary functions by a power series, set up and compute double and triple integrals, manipulate vector differential operators and to use Laplace transforms to solve ordinary differential equations. Students will gain experience in using a mathematical software system. Topics include matrix methods, sequences and series, multiple integrals, vector calculus, Laplace transforms and additional material from one of probability, linear algebra and operations research.

Assessment

Up to 24 pages of written assignments (20%) and a 3-hour end-of-semester written examination (80%)
