Description including Unit Aims

This is the second of the two units that cover the basic mathematics requirements of engineering degree programmes. It comprises four elements: Vector Calculus, Applied Statistics, and Linear Systems & Partial Differential Equations.

Unit aims: To enhance and develop the student's understanding of and ability to use the language of mathematics in engineering problems.

Intended Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this unit, students will:

1. understand basic principles of vector calculus
2. be able to apply vector calculus methods to problems in engineering
3. understand and apply transform methods to engineering problems
4. be able to classify simple partial differential equations, and understand the different qualitative behaviour of their solutions
5. be able to apply elementary techniques to solve simple partial differential equations
6. appreciate the importance of the real world of applied statistics
7. be able to formulate hypothesis tests, and understand their use for making inferences and obtaining confidence intervals,
8. use applied statistics techniques such as goodness of fit, correlation and regression for simple data and models

Teaching Information

Teaching will be delivered through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous sessions, including lectures, supported by live online sessions, problem sheets and self-directed exercises.

Assessment Information

1 Summative Assessment, 100% - Summer Exam. This will assess all ILOs.

Formative Tests throughout the year

Resources

If this unit has a Resource List, you will normally find a link to it in the Blackboard area for the unit. Sometimes there will be a separate link for each weekly topic.

If you are unable to access a list through Blackboard, you can also find it via the Resource Lists homepage. Search for the list by the unit name or code (e.g. EMAT20200).

How much time the unit requires
Each credit equates to 10 hours of total student input. For example a 20 credit unit will take you 200 hours of study to complete. Your total learning time is made up of contact time, directed learning tasks, independent learning and assessment activity.

See the Faculty workload statement relating to this unit for more information.

Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit. The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. If you have self-certificated your absence from an assessment, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (this is usually in the next assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any extenuating circumstances and operates within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
