1. PREAMBLE
The courses will have a strong e-Learning and ICT support with some
lessons and assessment being done using the relevant technology. Tech-
nology like programme calculators and mathematical software is used.

2. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

The course aims to develop analytical skills necessary to formulate
mathematical models of engineering and technology problems. The
approach adopted is the modern one in which students should acquire
solid basic knowledge and clear perception of engineering mathematics.
Advances in computing technology have given means to consider prob-
lems of larger complexity, sophisticated systems and processes, and
extreme conditions.
The general approach of solving engineering mathematics problem is

(a) model formulation,

(b) solution of mathematical model and
(c) interpretation of the mathematical solution.

3. COURSE CONTENT
Complex Analysis Continuity and Analyticity. Cauchy-Reimann
Equations. Complex Integration. Residues and Poles. Taylor and
Laurent series.

 Numerical Analysis Errors in numerical computation. Solution of
Nonlinear Equations. Numerical Differentiation. Numerical Integra-
tion. Interpolation. Numerical Linear Algebra. Numerical Methods
for Ordinary Differential Equations.
Fourier Analysis Orthogonality. Fourier series. Fourier Transforms.
Application of Fourier Series and Transforms.
Introduction to Partial Differential Equations Wave and Heat
Equations. Solutions of PDEs. Method of Separation of Vari-
ables.Laplace and Fourier Transform Method.

4. METHODOLOGY
The methodology will comprise of Lectures, Tutorials and Group As-
signments and Projects.
Lectures and all forms of assessment are compulsory. Students without
continuous assessment will not be allowed to write the final examina-
tion.
The timetable for the Second Semester 2013 is:

Monday 1000hrs-1200hrs Lecture 1

Wednesday 1000hrs-1200hrs Lecture 2
Saturday 1215hrs-1315hrs Lecture 1
Saturday 1400hrs-1500hrs Lecture 1
Sunday 1515hrs-1715hrs Lecture 2
Test One Wednesday 13 March 2013 Sunday 17 March 2013
Test Two Wednesday 8 May 2013 Sunday 12 May 2013

5. ASSESSMENT
Students should ensure that their registration number is correct as this
will used in their assessment.
Assessment shall comprise of continuous assessment, in the form of
coursework, and an end of semester examination. The course work
consists of at least two (2) assignments, which may be done in groups,
and at least three (3) tests, and the examination is a three (3) hour
paper.
The coursework contributes 25% to the FINAL MARK and the exam-
ination contributes 75% to the FINAL MARK.
Repeat and Carrying students can opt to use their previous coursework
mark. This should only be done in writing and indicated at the be-

2
 ginning of the semester. Students who miss assignments and tests and
choose this option will not be entertained unless by prior arrangement.
Students carrying or repeating the course are especially required to
attend all lectures.
Continuous assessment marks will be displayed before the final ex-
amination and students should check these ans ensure that they are
correct.

7. HIT e-Learning Centre:(HITeC)

The HITeC site is a collection of online resources for use by students
enrolled in our programmes. Currently a number of courses, including
the Mathematics courses, are listed. You can access the site via the
link:

http://192.168.0.11/moodle

At first log on, the site will ask for an Enrolment Key which is provided
by the course lecturer. The code for this course is hit223.
