2. LEARNING OUTCOMES

Learning Outcomes

This course aims to provides the essential mathematical techniques that an engineer needs in the theoretical part of his training as well as  what he/she  shall need in the computational part of his work.

On completion of this course students will be expected to

  • apply the mathematical induction method
  • calculate limits of sequences and examine the convergence of series
  • compute derivatives and antiderivatives of functions
  •  find the extreme values of functions and solve optimization problems
  •  sketch the graph of functions
  • to evaluate  integrals using the basic techniques of integration
  • evaluate areas, volumes of solids with known cross sections, moments and center of mass, the work done by a variable force along the x-axis, the fluid force against a  vertical flat plate.
  • approximate functions by Taylor polynomial and calculate the errors bound
  • represent   certain functions as series and  evaluate the   values at a point up a desired error.
General Competencies/Skills
  • Review, analyse and synthesise data and information
  • Work autonomously
  • Work in teams
  • Work in an international frame
  • Advance free, creative  and causative thinking
