Course Overview

This advanced engineering mathematics course is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of key mathematical techniques essential for engineering and applied science disciplines. The course focuses on three critical areas: Complex Analysis, Fourier Analysis, and Partial Differential Equations, equipping students with powerful mathematical tools for modeling and solving complex engineering problems.


Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, students will be able to:

  1. Complex Analysis
    • Manipulate complex functions and understand their properties
    • Apply complex integration techniques
    • Use conformal mapping and residue theorem to solve engineering problems
  2. Fourier Analysis
    • Understand and apply Fourier series and transforms
    • Solve engineering problems using Fourier techniques
  3. Partial Differential Equations (PDEs)
    • Classify and solve different types of PDEs (Wave/Heat/Laplace)
    • Apply separation of variables and transform methods
    • Model physical phenomena using PDEs in engineering contexts
