This course has several objectives, including:
- Refresh the student's memory about basic mathematics;
- Show how mathematical techniques fit in the real-life world
encountered by a mechanical engineer;
- Introduce some advanced techniques, in particular in linear
algebra and partial differential equations;
- Prepare students for departmental exams such as the Ph.D.
Qualifying exams.
The specific desired outcomes for the students are:
- Distill the mathematical part of a given problem containing a
full mathematical problem in one of the area of calculus, linear algebra,
ordinary, or partial differential equations covered in class.
- Solve the problem mathematically.
Listing of specific problems included are in the lecture notes, old
eaxms, and in homework assignments.
