General comments:
The major goal of this course is to cover practical mathematical methods important to engineering applications.
It is expected that students already have a mathematical background, including undergraduate courses in calculus,
linear algebra and differential equations. However, the course will start with a review of integration methods and
first order differential equations; and will also review linear algebra, so students with some lack in their background
can succeed in this course. In general, this course will be focused on more advanced topics,
including systems of linear differential equations, qualitative methods, the Fourier transform,
and partial differential equations. An important goal of this course is to learn how to use analytical methods
in concert with computer calculations. Computational parts of the course include the use of the Mathematica package:
all students must purchase the student edition of this program (the semester edition is less expensive) at
