UNIT REFERENCES, TEXTS, OUTCOMES AND ASSESSMENT DETAILS: The most up-to-date information about unit references, texts and outcomes, will be provided in the unit outline.
Syllabus: This unit introduces some fundamental theories and methods for the solution of differential equations and multivariable integral and vector calculus problems. It aims for students to develop their mathematical skills for modelling and solving real world problems by using differential equations and multivariable calculus. Topics covered include first-order differential equations, second and higher order constant coefficient linear equations, power series solutions, Fourier series, partial differential equations, gradient and directional derivatives, maxima and minima, double and triple integrals, line and surface integrals, div and curl, path independence, Green’s theorem, divergence theorem and Stokes theorem.
