)
Lecturer: Dr. R. Timoney & Dr. C. Houghton
Requirements/prerequisites: 1E1, 1E2
Duration: 24 weeks.
Number of lectures per week: 2 + tutorial
Assessment: Assignments counting 10%

Description:
- Laplace transforms (Kreyszig Chapter 5, or James Chapter 2, or
Kaplan Chapter 4)
and Z-transform (James Chapter 5). This continues the work on
linear constant coefficient differential and difference equations
begun in 1E2. It allows a more diverse variety of input functions.
- Systems of Differential Equations. Series Solutions of Differential
Equations and Special Functions. (Kreyszig Chapter 4)
- Vector Calculus - Differential and Integral (Kreyszig Chapters 8 &
9).
- Optimisation (Kreyszig Chapter 20)
- Introduction to Partial Differential Equations (Kreyszig Chapter 11).
Objectives
To give the participants an understanding of how to solve the
differential equations that arise in engineering, and to promote
an ability among the participants to apply this knowledge in new
situations.
