Applied Engineering Analysis I. (3-1) 3 Credit Hours

Catalog description

Prerequisite: Completion of MAT 1223 or EGR 1333 (or MAT 1224 or EGR 1324 in previous catalogs), or equivalent. Application of mathematical principles to the analysis of engineering problems using 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 equations; Laplace transforms; shifting theorems; convolution; solution of an ODE via Laplace transform; matrix addition and multiplication; solution of a linear system of equations via Gauss elimination and Cramer’s rule; rank, determinant, and inverse of a matrix; eigenvalues and eigenvectors; existence and uniqueness of solutions; solution to system of ODE's by diagonalization. One hour of problem solving recitation. (Formerly EE 2323. Credit can only be earned for EE 2323 or EGR 2323 .) Generally offered: Fall, Spring, Summer. Generally Scheduled Location: Main Campus, Internet. Course Fee: LRE1 $25; STSE $30; DL01 $75.
