Mathematics

AY2023/2024 Semester 2

In this course, the basic concepts of limits, differentiation and integration are introduced. Applications of differential and integral calculus are included. In addition, the course also covers topics on complex numbers, vectors and matrices. It aims to prepare the first year engineering students for further courses in engineering disciplines and more advanced mathematics in year 2. This course aims to equip you with 1. mathematical knowledge and analytical skills so that you are able to apply techniques of advanced calculus (along with their existing mathematical skills) to solve engineering or scientific problems whenever applicable; 2. mathematical reading skills so that you can read and understand related mathematical content in the basic and popular scientific and engineering literature; and 3. mathematical communication skills so that you can effectively and rigorously present your mathematical ideas to mathematicians, scientists and engineers.
