1. Course Objectives
To learn about various topics in applied mathematics that are of
direct use in many branches of physics and engineering for the
modeling of real-life phenomena.
2. Texts and References
"Advanced Engineering Mathematics" by Erwin Kreyszig, from John Wiley & Sons.
A Korean version of the book is available.
3. Course Structure and Teaching Method
This course contains four parts: ordinary differential equations,
Laplace transforms, Fourier analysis, and vector calculus.
Slides for the lectures, homework assignments, and other material will
be available online from Ewhas CyberCampus web site:
http://cyber.ewha.ac.kr/
4. Course Requirements and Assignments
This course only requires some basic knowledge of calculus. You need
to know how to differentiate and integrate basic functions (sine,
cosine, exponential, etc.) and how to solve simple algebraic equations.
You will have several homework assignments during the semester. All
assignments have to be done alone (no team work, no "talking with your
friends", no copying from anybody else, no copying from the Internet
or from answer books). Late assignments will not be accepted, unless
you have a valid, written excuse (medical, etc.)
5. Assessment and Grades
Midterm exam:
40%
Final exam:
40%
Homework assignments: 20%
Attendance is not used to compute grades. Attendance is still
mandatory, in accordance with Ewhas regulations.
6. Notes
This course will be taught entirely in English.
