Applied Mathematics for Engineering

Catalog description

Application of mathematical principles to the analysis of engineering problems us - ing linear algebra and ordinary differential equations (ODE’s). Topics include: mathematical modeling of engineering problems; separable ODE’s; first-, second-, and higher-order linear constant coefficient ODE”s; characteristic equation of an ODE; non-homogeneous equa - tions; matrix addition and multiplication; solution of a linear system of equations; rank, determinant, and inverse of a matrix; eigenvalues and eigenvectors; solution to system of ODE’s by diagonalization; Fourier transforms. This course also introduces the use of scientific computing for the solution of differential equations and linear algebra problems.
