MATHEMATICAL METHODS FOR ENGINEERS

Course Description

Aim of this course is to provide students with a strong foundation in complex analysis and numerical methods, essential tools in mathematics, computer science, physical sciences, and engineering. Topics begin with complex numbers, their algebra, and polar representation, followed by complex functions, limits, continuity, analyticity, and the Cauchy-Riemann equations. Students will study line integrals, the Cauchy integral formula, isolated singularities, and the residue theorem. The numerical methods section covers numerical error, solutions of nonlinear equations, convergence analysis, and direct and iterative methods for solving systems of linear equations. Additional topics include interpolation, curve fitting, and numerical differentiation and integration. Applications involve examples with both real and complex variables to equip students with practical problem-solving skills.
