Requirements/prerequisites:
MAU11E01,
MAU11E02
Number of lectures per week: 3 + 1 tutorial (tutorials starting week 2)
Duration: 11 weeks
The Annual Exam will have 6 questions. Credit will be given for the best 5 questions.
Assignments count 10% and Final Exam 90%. Supplemental Exam counts 100%.
Examination material is within the scope of the problem sheets.
Organization and Content:
For up-to date information, please see the module page MAU22E01-A-SEM101-202021 ENGINEERING MATHEMATICS III on TCD Blackboard.
Lectures:
To be posted regularly to Blackboard as videos with slides, starting from the first week (of Sept 28).
I'll be sending respective announcements through Blackboard at the beginning.
Tutorials:
Weekly live online, starting the week of Oct 5-9,
via Microsoft Teams through channels set for each group:
Groups 1/2/3: Wednesday at 1pm,
Groups 4/5: Friday at 12pm,
Group 6 (MSISS): Wednesday at 11am.
Homework:
Problem sheets will be posted in advance for each tutorial.
Only some of the sheets will be marked (not the first sheet),
to ease the burden of the online submission and marking,
and contribute for 10% of your total mark.
It is important to be able to do all the problems, including unmarked ones,
to ensure you are prepared for the exam.

An alternative to our Discussion Board on Blackboard.
Please join to ask questions, give feedback or help others if you know answers.
Unlike many other forums, here you can type mathematics formulas in Latex,
and that feature
will make it more convenient for us to give a better answer
by including properly looking mathematical formulas.
Gitlab is an important discussion/collaboration tool (not only for coding projects)
that we are using as a forum. Also beneficial for strengthening
TCD Graduate Attributes.
