- Zill and Cullen, Advanced
Engineering Mathematics, 3rd Edition
- This course covers a range of topics that are useful to solve
problems in engineering, physics, economics etc. The course is divided in three
interconnected parts: linear algebra (matrices, systems of linear equations),
vector calculus (overlapping some of the material covered in Mat 114), and
ordinary differential equations (series solution of differential equations,
systems of linear differential equations, the Laplace transform). It is a fast
paced course, therefore it is extremely important to study regularly, and to
ask for help during office hours when in danger of falling behind. For a more
detailed list of topics, see the math department Mat 240 site.
- Quizzes: 20%
- Two midterms: 30%
- Final: 50%
-
- You do not have to turn in the homework. However working through all the homework problems each week
is the most important ingredient for doing well in the course. You will be
tested on the concepts covered in the homework during the recitation quizzes,
therefore the homework has to be worked out before your recitation time. It will
be posted weekly on the Homework page.
-
- There will be weekly quizzes during recitations, which will count for
20% of the final grade. Each week, the quizzes will cover
the material tested on the homework for the week. No make up quizzes will be allowed, but the lowest quiz grade will be dropped from computing the average.
-
- You are allowed to bring a "cheat
sheet" to the exams, a regular size sheet of paper with handwritten formulas on
both sides. No calculators are permitted on the exams. The midterms will be in
class and the exam dates are:
- • First midterm: Tuesday, Feb. 19
- • Second midterm: Tuesday, Apr. 8
- • Final: Friday, May 9, 9-11am, in Museum B17 (also known as the
Rainey auditorium)
