Pre-requisite unit: MATH19611 Mathematics for EEE 1E1
Aims
Provide students in EEE with appropriate mathematical techniques (multivariate calculus, probability and statistics) for use within other course units.
Learning outcomes
1. Calculate the partial derivatives of a function of multiple variables and find its local and global extrema, including those satisfying further constraints.
2. Compute first- and second-order differential operators of scalar and vector functions (e.g. gradient, curl, divergence and Laplacian).
3. Calculate integrals for scalar functions of two or more variables, using Jacobians and other techniques.
4. Evaluate line and surface integrals for vector fields, show that certain functions satisfy particular integral theorems and use them in applications (e.g. Maxwell's equations).
5. Analyse and interpret data, using descriptive statistics, data visualisation and simple linear regression techniques.
6. Explain basic concepts in probability and probability distributions, and apply them to formulate and solve engineering problems.
Syllabus
