Aims
To extend students' knowledge, understanding and use of analytical methods required in a range of engineering applications. The course covers more advanced methods for solving differential equations, theory and applications of vector analysis and various infinite series.
Outline Of Syllabus
Level 4 Supplementary Maths Support.
Differential Equations and Series:
- the Laplace transform and its application to solving ordinary differential equations
- Fourier series
- partial differential equations with applications
Vectors analysis:
- vector methods and their applications
- scalar and vector fields – grad, div, curl and potential fields
- surface and volume integrals

Teaching Rationale And Relationship
Pre-recorded videos will be used in conjunction with ‘printed’ material to introduce each topic and worked examples to support in-person lectures. Online tutorials will be used to address student queries, with on-screen mathematical work. Computer-based exercises and tests will help students to check and improve their skills. Bookable ‘office hour’ personal tutorials will support students on demand. Exercise sheets are for practice of methods and reinforcement of understanding and applications.
