Version No. : 1.01
Course Prerequisites : 10+2 level Mathematics / Basic Mathematics (MAT001)
Objectives:
This Mathematics course provides requisite and relevant background necessary to understand the
other important engineering mathematics courses offered for Engineers and Scientists. Three
important topics of applied mathematics, namely the Multiple integrals, Vector calculus, Laplace
transforms which require knowledge of integration are introduced.
Expected Outcome:
At the end of this course the students are expected to learn
(i) how to evaluate multiple integrals in Cartesian, Cylindrical and Spherical geometries.
(ii) the powerful language of Vector calculus with physical understanding to deal with
subjects such as Fluid Dynamics and Electromagnetic fields.
(iii) to solve ordinary differential equations directly and also use transform methods where its
possible
