Description of module content:

Aims and objectives: To teach the basic topics of engineering mathematics. Students will gain familiarity with foundational applied/engineering mathematics concepts, including revision of concepts which are expected to be known from school or college. Students will solidify their grasp of these concepts, be brought to a common level, as well as refresh and sharpen up their mathematical ability.Content from: This module will consist of 6 main topics:1. Complex numbers in Cartesian, Polar and Exponential forms2. Foundation Mathematics including algebra, functions and their graphs3. Concept of differentiation involving product, quotient and chain rules4. Indefinite and definite integrals with engineering applications5. Solving engineering problems involving scalar and vector products6. Descriptive Statistics assisted by suitable software or graphical calculators
