    Synopsis :

    This is a first course in Engineering Mathematics. Contents include topics in basic calculus and algebra. The focus is on differentiation and integration of inverse trigonometric functions, hyperbolic and their inverse functions; improper integrals; series; vectors; matrices including vector spaces, eigenvalues and eigenvectors; polar coordinates; and complex numbers.

    Learning Outcomes:

    By the end of the course, students should be able to:

    • express functions as power series and analyze convergence of infinite series and use Taylor series to estimate limits and integrals

    • solve problems using vector methods and matrix algebra.

    • analyse and graph polar equations, and solve problems involving polar and parametric equations.

    • manipulate complex numbers and solve related problems.

    • communicate effectively in verbal and written form
