Mathematical Methods I

Mathematical Methods I (MTH319)

Synopsis

MTH319 Mathematical Methods I will introduce students to the mathematical foundations for solutions to engineering problems. The course will be driven from the engineering systems perspective and expose students to methodology to identify appropriate simplifications in system modelling that lead to simplified mathematical description from a more comprehensive one.

Level: 3
Credit Units: 5
Presentation Pattern: EVERY JULY
