Objective: This course aims to introduce some necessary concepts of Engineering
Mathematical Methods such as Fourier and Laplace transforms, Sturm-Liouville problems,
basic PDE’s, and some matrix theory.
Outcomes: By the end of this course, the student should be able to
1- Obtain Fourier series representations of commonly used functions,
2- Solve Sturm Liouvilles Problems,
3- Know basic properties of Laplace and Fourier Transforms and be able to find
transforms of commonly used functions,
4- Know basic linear partial differential equations (PDEs),
5- Solve these PDEs using Fourier Series, Laplace, and Fourier Transforms
6- Understand and apply basic linear algebra.
