For the purposes of considering request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Cwth 2005), and Student Support and Engagement Policy, academic requirements for this subject are articulated in the Subject Overview, Learning Outcomes, Assessment and Generic Skills sections of this entry.

It is University policy to take all reasonable steps to minimise the impact of disability upon academic study, and reasonable adjustments will be made to enhance a student's participation in the University's programs. Students who feel their disability may impact on meeting the requirements of this subject are encouraged to discuss this matter with a Faculty Student Adviser and Student Equity and Disability Support: http://services.unimelb.edu.au/disability

Subject Overview:

This subject introduces important mathematical methods required in engineering. Students should develop an ability to set up and compute double and triple integrals, manipulate vector differential operators. Students should develop an ability to solve a range of ordinary differential equations by a variety of methods including Laplace transformations, and to gain an understanding of the behaviour of their solutions. They will learn to represent suitable functions in terms of a Fourier series or integral, and to use these representations and other methods to solve partial differential equations. Students will gain experience in using a mathematical software system.

Topics include multiple integrals, vector calculus, higher order ordinary differential equations, solutions and phase portraits of systems of ordinary differential equations, Laplace transforms. Fourier series, Fourier integrals, method of characteristics for first order partial differential equations, second order hyperbolic, parabolic and elliptic partial differential equations.

Assessment: Up to 24 pages of written assignments (20%), a mid-semester test (10%) and a 3-hour end-of-semester written examination (70%).
