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.
On successful completion of this unit, students will:
Lectures.
There are also additional but optional walk-in support classes (3 hours per week) in which postgraduate students offer ad-hoc support to students on an individual basis
3-hour written exam (100%, all learning outcomes)
Advanced Modern Engineering Mathematics (4th edition), G James et al. Prentice Hall, 2010. This textbook covers the entire unit apart from some detail in statistics (see below).
Advanced Engineering Mathematics (10th Edition) E Kreyszig, John Wiley & Sons. This book is aimed at the more advanced end of this course but gives simple explanations and contains all the maths you are likely to need for the rest of your University career and beyond.
Other textbooks which students may find useful are:
Probability and Statistics for Engineers and Scientists (9th Edition). Ronald. E. Walpole et al, Pearson, 2011. Recommended as covering the requirements in applied statistics, though many other textbooks available in the libraries will do likewise.
Modern Engineering Mathematics (4th edition) Glyn James et al, Prentice Hall 2010.
Useful for applied statistics, and for revision of key concepts from EMAT10100.
