ES 201 Advanced Mathematical Methods in Engineering I

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Application of Fourier Series, Special Functions and Integral Transforms to the
Solution of Boundary and Initial Value Problems in Engineering
Credit: 3 u. (3 h lec) Prerequisite : ES 21 or Equivalent (ODE's, Matrix
Algebra, Laplace Transforms, and Fourier Series)

COURSE OBJECTIVES
After successfully completing this course, you should be able
1. to learn the theory of ordinary and partial differential equations
2. to gain mathematical insights in the derivation of model (differential) equations
in physical processes
3. HOPEFULLY: to acquire computational skills in solving ODEs and PDEs

Teaching Strategies:

In these difficult times, we have had to divert from the book, to follow the online
lectures and outline of Prof. Paul Dawkins of Lamar University. See below.

This might actually be more readable for some. Covers most topics in O’Neil, and
has solutions to all problems, odd and even, available online!

Teams share one grade (75%) plus member evaluations (25 %). You will give your
peers a number from 0 to 10, with 10 being the best. Ten points off for everyday
late for the entire team. Important: when reporting, please do not read from a
‘script’; lecture from your slides, like I do. Twenty point- deduction if you do.
