Courses by semester

Course ID Title
MATH 1900 Introduction to Calculus for Engineers

We will review material from differential calculus and introduce topics from integral calculus to prepare students for MATH 1910. The first half of the course reviews limits and continuity, differentiation, and linear approximation. The second half of the course introduces antiderivatives, definite and indefinite integrals, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, integration techniques (e.g., substitution and integration by parts), and some applications of integration.

MATH 1910 Calculus for Engineers

Essentially a second course in calculus and the first in a sequence designed for engineers that assumes familiarity with differential calculus at the level of MATH 1110. Topics include techniques of integration, finding areas and volumes by integration, exponential growth, partial fractions, infinite sequences and series, tests of convergence, and power series.

MATH 1920 Multivariable Calculus for Engineers

Introduction to multivariable calculus. Topics include partial derivatives, double and triple integrals, line and surface integrals, vector fields, Green's theorem, Stokes' theorem, and the divergence theorem.

MATH 2930 Differential Equations for Engineers

An introduction to ordinary and partial differential equations. Topics include first-order equations (separable, linear, homogeneous, exact); mathematical modeling (e.g., population growth, terminal velocity); qualitative methods (slope fields, phase plots, equilibria and stability); numerical methods; second-order equations (method of undetermined coefficients, application to oscillations and resonance, boundary-value problems and eigenvalues); and Fourier series. A substantial part of this course involves partial differential equations, such as the heat equation, the wave equation, and Laplace's equation. MATH 2930 and MATH 2940 are independent and can be taken in either order; they should not be taken in the same semester.

MATH 2940 Linear Algebra for Engineers

Linear algebra and its applications. Topics include matrices, determinants, vector spaces, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, orthogonality and inner product spaces. Applications include brief introductions to difference equations, Markov chains, and systems of linear ordinary differential equations. May include computer use in solving problems. MATH 2930 and MATH 2940 are independent and can be taken in either order; they should not be taken in the same semester.
