Diploma in Mathematics for Engineering

This course on mathematics for engineering begins with a discussion of the relationship between numbers and their operations. Learn to define binary operations in math as well as the difference between complex and imaginary numbers. You will analyze the definition of ‘relations’ along with its functions. This course also explains how to solve quadratic equations by using the completing the square method, and looks at the concept of the discriminant in engineering mathematics, as well as the functions of parabolas with horizontal and vertical orientations. See how conic sections are the figures created when a plane cuts a slice through a three-dimensional cone, how to derive equations of ellipses with horizontal and vertical orientations, the functionality of parabolic reflectors, the definition of a circle as well as the properties of exponential functions.

Are you puzzled by the application of logarithmic functions for solving engineering problems? This course exposes you to the different ways of applying graphing logarithmic functions and how to solve them. Discover how to frequently change from one base to another when dealing with logarithmic equations. You will also explore the application of trigonometry ratios in mathematics, the functionality of special right triangles and how to determine the lengths of the sides of a triangle. Analyze basic trigonometric identities and solve first to second-degree trigonometric equations. You will also be taken through the process of using the multi-angle formula to solve multi-angle equations. Additionally, learn how to identify as well as prove other trigonometric identities and solve trig equations. This course explores the laws of sine and cosine in the application of trigonometry in engineering.

As you progress, you will be provided with examples of how to plot the graphs of the sine, cosecant, cosine, secant, tangent and cotangent functions. You will learn about the two notations that are used to denote the inverse of a trigonometric function. This course explains how differentiation is the reverse process to integration in calculus and how to calculate then apply the rates of change. Study the various methods of differentiation, the power rule, and how to differentiate a parametrized curve in calculus. Upon the successful completion of this course, you will be able to analyze the concepts of velocity, acceleration, and jerk in differential calculus. This course is targeted at engineering students and mathematicians, as well as anyone interested in mathematics for engineering.
