This course is designed to develop students’ knowledge and skills in the area of advanced
Engineering Mathematics with basic numerical techniques. At the end of the programme,
students should be able to apply the foundation of numerical mathematics to solve
numerous engineering applications as well as preparation to embark on further lifelong
studies within the related area.
This course focuses on solving system of linear equations using matrix representations,
solving system of ordinary differential equations using diagonalization, finding solutions
of polynomial equations and estimation of derivatives and integrals of polynomial,
logarithmic, exponential and trigonometric functions numerically. Further numerical
methods for solving ordinary and partial differential equations are provided while the
applications of the differential equations in heat and string vibration problems are also
presented.
At the end of this course students should be able to:
CLO1: Solve system of linear equations with constant coefficients. (PLO 2)
CLO2: Determine solutions of equations using numerical methods. (PLO 3)
CLO3: Estimate the numerical values of derivatives and integrals for engineering
problems. (PLO 2)
CLO4: Solve ordinary differential equations numerically. (PLO 3)
CLO5: Solve partial differential equations numerically. (PLO 2)
This course is aimed to equip students with knowledge on numerical methods and
matrix solutions for system of equations which are essential for solving numerous
practical engineering applications. This course will also enhance students’ confidence to
explain and develop their skills in analysing engineering problems numerically with
acceptable estimations.
