Mathematics 3J04: Engineering Mathematics III
(Fall, 2000)
This course is directed to
students specializing in civil, electrical, and mechanical
engineering. The level of the course material is from beginning
to intermediate. The topics cover
linear eigenvalue problems, systems of differential equations,
Fourier series and partial differential equations, numerical methods
for linear algebra and differential equations, introduction to probability
and statistics. The lectures are complimented by a weekly tutorial where
students attend some analytical and computer problems.

All problems for class work and home assignments were taken
from the main textbook. Computer assignments were based on
Matlab 5.3 software package. Students
were expected to quickly grasp the basic elements of the
Matlab operating
language (additional textbooks were given below for the purpose).
