Aims
To provide a foundation in engineering mathematics for its application to the solution of engineering problems. This module is a continuation from 4602IYO - Engineering Mathematics 1a.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Use vectors and matrices in the solution of engineering problems.
2.
Apply techniques of integration or differentiation in the solution of engineering
problems.
3.
Solve first order ordinary differential equations by the method of separation of
variables and apply to the modelling of engineering problems.
4.
Use and apply mathematical software to the solution of engineering problems.

Module Overview:
To provide a foundation in engineering mathematics for its application to the solution of engineering problems This module provides a foundation in engineering mathematics for level four students in mechanical and electrical engineering, to enable them to apply this to the solution of engineering problems. For each topic area of the syllabus, relevant commands will be given for application of a symbolic algebra package, e.g. Mathcad to harder problems. Coursework assessment will be through online questions delivered using MapleTA online assessment software.
