Brief Course Description
This is an introductory course giving students the required basic mathematical background and sets
foundation for other Engineering courses. It provides an introductory treatment of some
mathematical concepts and techniques.
Course Objectives
By the end of this course the students should be able to:
• Have a good understanding of the basic concepts of Engineering Mathematics
• Apply the mathematical principles for solving Engineering problems.
Detailed Course Content:
Functions: [ 6 Hours]
Elementary, transcendental, Exponential, hyperbolic & logarithmic functions of a real variable
Differential calculus: [ 15 Hours]
Differential of functions of one and several variables: the derivative (definitions & theorems); Rules
of differentiation, the differentiability theorem; Differentiation of functions with exponential
functions, logarithmic functions, or hyperbolic functions; Some consequences of differentiability;
Maxima and minima; identification of extrema; Indeterminate forms – l’Hopital’s rule; Identification
of extrema using second derivative; Partial &Total differentiation; Differentiation by chain rule;
Change of variables; implicit functions & the derivatives of inverse circular functions. Higher order

revolution; Integration of a continuous function; Inequalities; The definite integral as a function of its
upper limit; Indefinite integrals; Differentiation of an integral containing a parameter; Application of
definite integrals; Double integrals & their applications; Systematic integration – by substitution,
