    National University of Science and Technology

    Department of Applied Mathematics

    Name of Course : Engineering Mathematics IB (SMA1216)


    Lecturer : Mr. T. B. Gashirai
    Office : WF20, Admin Building
    Consultation Times : Wednesday and Friday
    9am - 11am

    Course Description
    This course aims at providing the student with the basic concepts of Func-
    tions of Several Variables, Matrices and Ordinary Differential Equations
    which are motivated by Radiography and Engineering Sciences applications
    while emphasising the informed use of modern numerical analysis methods.
    The objective of this course, therefore is to present mathematical theories
    that Engineering Scientists have successfully used so far in a manner that
    highlights the historical and intellectual connections between the applica-
    tions in Mathematics, Physics and Engineering.

    Course Content
    1. Functions of Several Variables

    • Limits and Continuity


    • Partial Derivatives and the Chain rule
    • Tangent planes and normal lines
    • Extrema and the Lagrange Multipliers
    • Applications of Functions of Several Variables

    2. Matrices ( Linear Algebra)

    • Basic Operations of Matrices


    • Properties and definitions
    • Elementary Row Operations (Gauss Elimination)
    • Systems of Equations
    • Determinants and inverses
    • Eigen values and eigenvectors
    • Linear independence

    1
    • Applications of Matrices

    3. Ordinary Differential Equations

    • First Order Differential Equations


    • Variable seperable
    • Integrating factor
    • Exact equations
    • Homogeneous ODEs
    • Linear second order DEs with constant coefficients
    • Variation of Parameters
    • Systems of Equtions
    • Applications of ODEs to Physics and Engineering

    Course Assessment
    The course will be structured in the form of two hour lectures which shall
    be conducted twice a week. Students are expected to attend and participate
    actively in these lectures. Two in-class tests will constitute the major assess-
    ment from which a continuous assessment (CA) mark will be obtained. This
    CA mark together with the mark obtained in the Final Examination, on a
    25% : 75% ratio respectively, will lead to the calculation of the student’s
    final grade in the course.

    The following textbooks are recommended for studying in this course, how-
    ever any other textbook with content relevant to the course is appropriate
    for personal enrichment.
