BEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Pre-requisite unit: MATH19611 Mathematics for EEE 1E1

Provide students in EEE with appropriate mathematical techniques (multivariate calculus and probability) for use within other course units. 

-Find the partial derivatives of a function of two or more variables and use the results to find local and global maxima and minima of the function including those satisfying further constraints.

-Find the divergence or curl of a vector function ; find the gradient of a scalar function

-Using Jacobians and other techniques, find integrals involving functions of two or more variables.

-Show that certain functions satisfy particular integral or differential theorems.

-Analyse and interpret data using descriptive statistics, data visualisation, and simple linear regression techniques.

-Explain basic concepts in probability and probability distributions, and apply them to formulate and solve engineering problems.
