Module Aims
To provide students with the mathematical skills needed to solve engineering problems
To understand the relevance of mathematics in engineering
[This module was previously within the MA subject area, and was recoded to AM with effect from Sept 2009.]
Content Summary
Linear, simultaneous linear and quadratic equations. Factorisation, expansion and simplification of algebraic expressions. Rearrangement of formulae. Indices and logarithms. The exponential function. \\r
Radians and degrees. Trigonometric and inverse trigonometric functions and their graphs. Pythagoras Theorem. The sine and cosine rules. Simple trigonometric identities.\\r
Cartesian and polar coordinates. Equation of a straight line. Plotting straight line graphs. Reduction of other functions to straight line form. Least squares approximations. \\r
The concept of differentiation. Differentiation of simple functions. The product, quotient and function of a function rules. Maxima and minima. Velocity and acceleration.\\r
Integration as the reverse of differentiation. Integration using standard forms, simple substitutions and parts. Numerical integration. Application to area, volume and second moments of area.\\r
Graphical display of data. Calculation of measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode), measures of dispersion (standard deviation and variance) and interquartile range. The binomial, Poisson and normal distributions.\\r
This module will facilitate the development of Personal Development Planning through the delivery of the key skills identified below in the module descriptor.\\r
