Summary
This module introduces a range of fundamental elementary mathematical techniques that can be applied to mechanical engineering, manufacturing and product design problems. It includes the calculus of a single variable, extended to develop techniques used in analysing engineering problems; techniques for solving selected first-order and second-order differential equations; the algebra of complex numbers to provide a key mathematical tool for analysis of linear mathematical and engineering problems; the complexity of solving general (large) systems of equations is introduced, their study using matrix techniques, vectors for modelling of generic engineering situations
· advanced differential and integral calculus of one variable
· first-order ordinary-differential equations
· algebra of complex numbers;
· matrix algebra and its applications to systems of equations and eigenvalue problems
· functions and their properties
· vector spaces and their applications;
· vector calculus.
