The course is designed for undergraduates interested in graduate school in engineering either directly after graduation or later. This course will introduce them to modern mathematical techniques that are commonly used in the engineering sciences. Theory will be closely related to applications. Topics to be covered include: 1. Analysis (a) Dynamical systems (fractals, bifurcations, chaos, synchronization), perturbations, (b) equations (integral, functional, fractional), (c) complex variables, (d) linear analysis (linear spaces, finite and infinite dimensions, norm, inner product, completeness, operators), (e) orthogonal expansion (Hilbert space, eigenvalue problems, adjoint and self-adjoint operators, orthogonality, weighted residuals, spectral methods), (f) computer methods (finite-elements, finite-differences, Monte Carlo). 2. Applications Theory and applications will be discussed in parallel. Topics will be selected from the aerospace and mechanical engineering sciences including mechanics of particles and rigid bodies, elasticity, thermal and fluid dynamics, stability (buckling, convection and hydrodynamics), signal processing, controls, and optimization. Assignments: Homework will be assigned. There will be individual projects on research and state of the art reviews of selected topics with in-class presentations, mid-term and final reports.

First of a two-course sequence, the course introduces methods of differential-equation solution together with common engineering applications in vibration analysis and controls. Second-order, linear differential equations, feedback control and numerical solutions to systems of ordinary differential equations. The objective of this course are for students to be able to solve certain classes of ordinary differential equations, analyze the stability of solutions of a system of differential equations and apply techniques from the theory of differential equations to design and analyze the stability of control systems and engineering vibrations problems. MAPH 30160 Mathematics for Engineers VI at UCD; This course is designed to familiarise engineering students with ordinary and partial differential equations. Although general techniques applicable to arbitrary differential equations will be taught, the emphasis will be on solving the types of differential equatons which appear in an engineering context; examples include electrical circuits, traffic flow problems, the wave/string equation, the heat equation, and Laplace's/Poisson's equation. These techniques include critical point classification and phase portraits, the method of characteristics, separation of variables, Fourier series/transforms and classification of 2nd-order linear partial differential equations.
