Objective: The purpose of this course is to introduce advanced mathematical concepts and methods that find extensive use in many fields of modern engineering analysis. The goal is to familiarize students with powerful analytical and numerical tools in the areas of differential and integral calculus and applied vector analysis that can be used to solve a variety of real world engineering problems. Lectures will be supplemented by MATLAB exercises and will include a large number of practical examples. Aside from illustrating the use of these methods, the aim is to develop a working knowledge of the tools and gain exposure to a broad range of engineering disciplines and applications.

Textbook: R. Finney et al, “Thomas’ Calculus” Part II, 10th Edition, Addison Wesley. Copies of the text will be available on reserve at the Terman Engineering Library

Homework: A set of homework problems will be assigned each Wednesday during lecture. The assignments are to be turned in the following Wednesday. Although collaboration is permitted, independent work is highly encouraged. No credit will be awarded for late homework.

Exams: One midterm and one final

Grading: Homework 40%, Midterm 25%, Final 35%, MATLAB workbook (optional) 5% bonus

Resources: Some of the homework assignments will require the use of MATLAB. This software package is available on many workstations throughout campus (Terman Engineering Library, Terman Cluster in room 104, Sweet Hall, MERL at 418 Panama St. room 124 and others). If you plan to use your own PC, you can purchase and install a student version of MATLAB, which is available from the bookstore.
