Summary
This module introduces a range of fundamental elementary mathematical techniques:
- The calculus of a single variable, extended to develop techniques used in analysing engineering problems techniques for solving selected first-order and second-order differential equations
- The algebra of complex numbers to provide a key mathematical tool for analysis of linear mathematical and engineering problems
- The complexity of solving general (large) systems of equations is introduced, their study using matrix techniques, vectors for modelling of generic engineering situations
Re-assessment
Students who fail this module overall and are required to complete a re-assessment will be re-assessed by exam. The re-assessment exam mark alone will be used to determine whether students satisfy progression requirements.
Target Students
Primarily for first year UG Mechanical, Manufacturing and Product Design Engineering students in the department of Mechanical, Materials and Manufacturing Engineering- Not available to any other students including exchange studentsA study of mathematics which provides fluency in the topics of algebra, geometry, functions - including logarithm and exponential, trigonometry, sequences and series, elementary differential and integral calculus, and vectors as provided by a recent good pass in GCE A-level Mathematics or pass in the Foundation Year at UNUP, UNMC or UNNC, or equivalent.
