18-205 Mathematical Software in Engineering

Spring, 1998


Course Overview

Mathematical Software in Engineering (18-205) is conceived to teach undergraduate engineering mathematics through the motivational media of engineering problem solving and design and modern software (MATLAB for numeric computation and Maple /Mathematica for symbolic computation). Accordingly, this course should be especially attractive to the more computer engineering oriented students. This course covers facets of Complex Algebra and Arithmetic, Linear Algebra, Numerical Linear Algebra, and Differential and Difference Equations. Consequently, Mathematical Foundations of Engineering (18-200), 18-205, and Matrix Algebra (21-241) are alternate corequisites for Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering (18-220). 18-205 provides an applications-oriented background in Linear and Numerical Linear Algebra and Differential and Difference Equations for 18-220 and beyond. 18-200 is offered in the Fall, 18-205 is offered in the Spring and 21-241 is offered in both semesters.
