ENGR 3430 Engineering Analysis
Application of mathematical principles to the analysis of engineering problems using linear algebra and ordinary differential equations (ODE's). Use of software tools to solve engineering problems. Topics include: mathematical modeling of engineering problems; separable ODE's; first-, second-, and higher-order linear constant coefficient ODE's; characteristic equations of an ODE; systems of coupled first-order ODE'S; matrix addition and multiplication; solution of a linear system of equations via gauss elimination and cramer's rule; rank, determinant, and inverse of a matrix; eigenvalues and eigenvectors; solution of an ODE via Laplace transform; numerical solution of ODE's. The course will incorporate the use of MATLAB software in engineering analysis.
Notes
