Overview

The course is in two parts, one of which concentrates on giving the fundamental skills of the differential and integral calculus. Applications to Engineering problems involving rates of change and averaging processes are emphasised and the work culminates in the study of simple order differential equations. The other part of the course describes material on matrices, complex numbers and discrete mathematics. Here the applications discussed include linear modelling, expert systems and the fast Fourier transform.

Structure
