Engineering Mathematics 1

Engineering Mathematics is the foundation of all engineering degrees. Engineering Math I aims to equip students with core mathematical skills which will help them better understand other engineering modules. This module presents the mathematical foundations of Functions, which includes function transformation, logarithms and exponential functions, trigonometric and hyperbolic functions. The more substantial part of this module begins with Limits and Continuity which includes L’ Hopital’s rule, followed by Single Variable Calculus. It covers differentiation and integration of functions of one variable, with various engineering applications.  The topics covered in this module include: 

• To apply and solve functions involving exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric and hyperbolic in the context of engineering

• To explain the concept of limits and continuity and solve related problems, in preparation for calculus

• To use the rules of differentiation to compute the derivative of functions and apply derivatives in curve sketching and optimisation

• To use integration techniques in evaluating integrals and apply definite integral in the computing area between curves, volume, arc length and surface area
