Module Aims
This module aims to provide students with the mathematical skills needed and understand the relevance of mathematics in solving engineering problems and introduce students to a range of statistical methods applied to the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data.
Content Summary
Linear, simultaneous linear and quadratic equations. Factorisation, expansion and simplification of algebraic expressions. Rearrangement of formulae. Indices and logarithms. The exponential function.
Radians and Degrees. Trigonometric and Inverse trigonometric functions and their graphs, Pythagoras theorem, The sine and cosine rules , simple trigonometric identities
Cartesian and polar coordinates, Equation of a straight line. Plotting straight line graphs. Reduction of other functions to straight line form. Least squares approximations
Concept of differentiation, Differentiation of simple functions. The product, quotient and function of a function rules. Maxima and minima. Velocity and acceleration.
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.
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.
