SPECIFIC COURSE INFORMATION

a. Course Description
The course introduces students to advanced mathematical tools to be applied on engineering problems
and to Linear Algebra using MATLAB. Discussion of complex numbers and functions as a prerequisite
in the discussion of future topics. Transform techniques, such as Fourier are then given emphasis, and
their use in solving equations are demonstrated. The topic on power series expansion of functions
prepares students on how to solve ordinary differential equations using the power series method.
b. Prerequisites
MATH 313 Differential Equations
None
Co-requisites
c. Course Classification Required
