Methods of Applied Mathematics 1

Course aim

This course provides students with the opportunity to learn mathematical methods associated with transforms, discrete mathematics and probability theory commonly used to model and analyse engineering systems.

Course content

Theory of Fourier series: orthogonal and orthonormal systems; exponential, sine and cosine series, Theory of integral transforms: the Fourier and Laplace transforms and their inverses, properties and formulae; partial fraction expansion of inverses, applications to the modelling of engineering systems, Discrete Mathematics : Sets, relations, functions, equivalence relations and equivalence classes. Logic: propositions, truth tables, quantifiers, theorem and proof, induction.
Graphs, paths and cycles : probability : discrete and continuous random variables, expectation , moments, random signals.
