MATH08008 2013 Mathematics 4
Maths for 4th year classes in M & E department
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
Use first and second order differential equations to model and solve engineering problems
Solve geometrical problems using the i, j, k orthogonal triad system, and compute dot products and cross products. Compute projections and angles between vectors and interpret results geometrically
Use Gaussian elimination to solve systems of m equations in n unknowns and apply this to networks (including electrical networks using Kirchoff's Laws)
Calculate Fourier transforms and inverse Fourier transforms
Solve first and second order difference equations using z-transforms
Indicative Syllabus
