Survey of Engineering Applications from Mathematics

Catalog description

The objective of this course is to increase student retention, motivation, and success in engineering through an application-oriented introduction to engineering mathematics. This course does not replace other math courses, but provides a survey of the most significant math topics used in the core freshman and sophomore-level engineering courses. These include basic descriptions of engineering applications using algebraic manipulation of engineering equations, trigonometry, vectors and complex numbers, systems of equations and matrices, differentiation, integration and differential equations. All these fundamental math topics will be presented within the context of engineering applications, and reinforced through examples of their use in the core engineering courses.
