EMT4801/101/0/2015
The material on sequences and series is not covered in the prescribed book. You should
study this section from the study guide. If you need addtional background you can refer
to the textbook prescribed/recommended for MAT1581 and MAT2691, namely
KA Stroud (with additions by Dexter J Booth), Engineering Mathematics, edition 5 or 6
or latest.
(Edition 5 was published by Palgrave publishers in 2001 and edition 6 by Industrial press
in 2007.)
10
This book has chapters on both series and power series which cover almost everything, except the algorithms for estimating the accuracy of a partial sum approximation, presented
in section 1.2.5 of the study guide.
This material may either be studied from the study guide or chapter 1 of the prescribed
textbook. In the textbook you do not need to do example 1.9.4 and also dont need to do
any of the examples in section 1.10 (that is examples 1.10.11.10.3).
This material may either be studied from the study guide, or from chapter 6 of the prescribed textbook. If you choose to study this from the prescribed textbook you need to
take note of the following points:
You do not need to study sections 6.7 and 6.10 in the textbook.
Although the textbook does deal with transfer functions, it does not cover stability
in enough detail. It also does not deal with the state space approach. Hence you
will need to study section 3.5.2 and unit 3.6 from the study guide together with
chapter 6 of the textbook.
This material may either be studied from the study guide, or from chapter 7 of the prescribed book. When studying this material from the textbook you need to take note of
the following points:
You do not need to know all the methods for inverting a Ztransform in section 7.3.
It is enough to study only the method based on partial fraction expansion.
11
EMT4801/101/0/2015
The textbook does not cover the state space model. Hence you will need to study
unit 4.5 from the study guide, together with chapter 7 of the textbook.
7. MODULE PRACTICAL WORK AND WORK INTEGRATED LEARNING
There are no practicals for this module.
8. ASSESSMENT
Marks will be allocated for assignments.
There are three assignments for this course, which appear further on under section. The
study material on which each one is based, is summarised in the assignment submission
programme which appears further on this section.
In addition to the general number each assignment has its own unique number which must
be written on the assignment.

Take note that the Engineering Applications in the study guide are primarly there for
illustrative purposes. Hence in the exam the focus will be more on the actual mathematics
underlying the applications, rather than the applications themselves.
In addition some of the material in the study guide is there for the purpose of revision.
Where material is included for the sake of revision, the focus will be more on that part of
the work which is truly new and not so much on the work being revised. This means that
You will not be directly tested on matrix algebra. You merely need to be able to
use it to deal with state space equations.
In the module on Laplace transforms the focus will be more on the material not
dealt with in MAT301W, namely
the behaviour of F (p) as p ;
the initialvalue theorem;
the finalvalue theorem;
solution of simultaneous linear des;
step and impulse functions, and the application of step functions to Laplace
transforms of periodic functions;
all material relating to transfer functions
all material relating to convolution
