Objective

This course is designed to provide fundamental and medium level mathematical skills to year one students in order to equip them with the necessary tools to study the major courses of Electronic Engineering, viz. electronic circuits, electromagnetic theory, signals and communication theory. Students taking this course are presumed to possess knowledge of calculus at the level of secondary F.6 and F.7. Mastery of secondary level trigonometry and matrices is also a prerequisite.

Syllabus

• Classification of differential equations
• First order ordinary differential equations
• Second order ordinary differential equations
• Partial differential equations
• Laplace transform
• Fourier series, integrals and transforms
• Applications of Fourier series and Fourier transform
• Position vector, line and surface representation. Vector differential calculus
• Vector integral calculus

Learning Outcome

Upon completion of the course, students are expected to possess the following capabilities and skills:

• Understanding of the mathematical techniques they have learned and their applications
• Knowledge to apply an appropriate mathematical technique to solve common Electronic Engineering problems in circuit analysis, signals, communication theory and electromagnetic theory
