Engineering Mathematics – III

(Common to all Branches)

Course Code: MAT201

COURSE OBJECTIVES:
To help the learners in understanding Laplace transforms techniques used in engineering
disciplines. Also it provides an insight into Fourier series techniques and its applications. Further
the course provides a knowledge on complex differentiation and integration which helps in
solving some special type of integrations known as contour integrations which come in many
engineering fields.
