431-201 Engineering Analysis A or 431-225 Engineering Analysis A (old)

This subject deals with advanced mathematical methods required in engineering. Students should develop an ability to solve a range of ordinary differential equations by a variety of methods, and to gain an understanding of the behaviour of their solutions. Students will also learn to formulate and solve a range of decision-making problems by well-known algorithms. They will learn to represent suitable functions in terms of a Fourier series or integral, and to use these representations and other methods to solve partial differential equations. Students will gain further experience in using a mathematical software system. Topics include higher order ordinary differential equations, solutions and phase portraits of systems of ordinary differential equations, networks, linear programming, integer programming, Fourier series, Fourier integrals and transforms, partial differential equations and additional material from one of statistics, linear algebra and difference equations.
