Description Students enrolled in Bachelor of Engineering who are yet to successfully complete 200242 Mathematics for Engineers 3, are to seek advice from Dr Jamal Rizk to enable them to complete the course. This subject is a core subject in the Computer, Electrical, or Telecommunications key programmes of the Bachelor of Engineering course. It builds on the first two mathematics subjects in that course and provides mathematical tools and techniques needed for the above key programmes. The subject covers topics from advanced calculus including vector calculus, complex analysis, Fourier series, heat and wave equations, Fourier integrals and transforms; discrete mathematics including logic and set theory; random variables and random processes including mean, correlation and covariance functions, ergodicity, ensemble averages, and Gaussian processes.

Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this subject, students should be able to:

1. decide the truth of logical statements involving connectives, and simplify logical expressions using the laws of logic and truth tables; find and use normal forms of Boolean expressions, and simplify a digital circuit using Boolean expressions;
2. perform simple operations on sets, find Cartesian products of sets, use Venn diagrams to illustrate relationships between sets, and solve simple counting problems;
3. calculate mean, variance and related statistical descriptors of random variables and random processes;
4. recognise stationary and ergodic processes, and the significance of these;
5. solve problems in vector calculus, including the calculation of line integrals and surface integrals;
6. solve problems involving complex functions and evaluate a complex integral;
7. calculate the Fourier representation for a given function and apply it to the solution of heat and wave equations;
