Overview
This unit introduces advanced mathematical concepts required for all disciplines of engineering that extend on the concepts in ENG1005 Engineering mathematics. Major concepts taught using engineering contexts include multivariable and vector calculus, Fourier series and partial differential equations. Specific topics include partial derivatives, double and triple integrals with change of coordinates, vector functions and operators, parametric curves and surfaces, periodic functions, Laplace transforms, ODE boundary value problems, partial differential equation solution techniques and applications.
