Course Syllabus

Engineering mathematics is a core subject in many engineering disciplines. For computer science and information engineering, engineering mathematics serves as a mathematical foundation for signal and multimedia processing, machine learning, and cyber-physical systems (CPS), to name a few. For those of you who have already engaged in the study of those fields, you might feel that you are fine without doing much math, and that is partially true; nevertheless, learning engineering mathematics may help shed some lights on the ‘why’ part of those techniques, and it is a gateway for you to get access to other engineering disciplines (electrical engineering, for example). 

Topics:

  1. First-Order Differential Equations
  2. Higher-Order Differential Equations
  3. The Laplace Transform
  4. Linear Systems and Applications
  5. Fourier Series and Fourier Transform

Prerequisites:
Students who would like to take this course must have learned both Calculus and Linear Algebra.

Grading:

  • 50% Homework assignments
  • 25% Midterm exam
  • 25% Final exam
