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.

Assessment
The Handbook lists an examination for this unit.
| # | Assessment | Type | Weight | Hurdle |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 - Lecture quizzes | Quiz / Test | 5% | Threshold |
| 2 | 2 - Applied class quizzes | Quiz / Test | 10% | Threshold |
| 3 | 3 - Workshop assessments | Exercise | 15% | Threshold |
| 4 | 4 - Mid-semester test | Examination | 20% | Threshold |
| 5 | 5 - Final assessment | Examination | 50% | Threshold |
Continuous assessment: 50% Final assessment: 50% This unit contains threshold hurdle requirements that you must achieve to be able to pass the unit. You are required to achieve at least 45% in the total continuous assessment component and at least 45% in the final assessment component. The consequence of not achieving a hurdle requirement is a fail grade (NH) and a maximum mark of 45 for the unit.
