This course aims to provide a mathematical foundation to students who wish to pursue the Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical and Electronic Engineering) programme. Topics include:
- Vectors
- Functions and Limits
- Differentiation
- Integration
- Sequences, Power Series, Taylor Series
- Ordinary Differential Equations
- Partial Differentiation
- Multiple Integrals
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:
- Use vectors to solve geometrical problems in two- and three-dimensional space.
- Evaluate limits of functions using different methods.
- Evaluate derivatives and apply Chain Rule and Implicit differentiation and L'Hopital's Rule.
- Apply differentiation to solve problems related to rate of change and optimization.
- Evaluate integrals using different techniques and apply integration to find areas and volumes.
- Classify and solve Ordinary Differential Equations.
- Give examples of convergent and divergent sequences and series, and perform various convergence tests for series.
- Describe how a function can be expressed as a power series, determine the radius of convergence of a power series.
- Represent certain functions by manipulating geometric series or by differentiating or integrating known series.
- Find Taylor/Maclaurin series of a given function using definition.
- Evaluate partial derivatives and apply Chain Rule and Implicit Differentiation for functions of more than one variable.
- Apply the properties of directional derivatives and gradient vectors to solve problems related to rate of change of functions of more than one variable.
- Interpret the meaning of double integrals, and evaluate double integrals via iterated integrals and change of order.
- Evaluate double integrals in polar coordinates.
- Online Tests
- Mid-term test
