Alan Jeffrey.

Course Description:

The course gives the students a sound knowledge of Laplace and Fourier
Transforms along with Fourier Integrals, Partial Differential Equations,
advanced vector analysis, complex variables and complex integrals.

Equipped with the Knowledge gained in this course, the students

will be able to apply mathematics as a strong tool to model and
solve the practical problems they come across in engineering and
technology.
Course Description:

The course comprises four parts. In the first part Laplace and Fourier
Transform and Fourier Integrals are covered. Advanced topics of Laplace
Transform not covered in the course of calculus II are covered in this
course.
The second part consists of Partial Differential Equations. This part helps
the students in mathematical modeling of engineering problems
depending on more than one variable.
In the third part advanced topics in vector analysis like calculus of del
operator, gradient, curl and divergence along with their physical
interpretations are covered.
The fourth part covers complex variable and complex integration.
Harmonic functions, line integrals, poles residues and singularities are
covered in this part.

Course Evaluation:

There will be five quizzes two assignments one MidTerm Exam and one end
semester examination. Evaluation will be on the basis of following criteria:
