Undergraduate Prerequisites: NA - Graduate Prerequisites: (ENGEK103 & CASMA123 & CASMA124 & CASMA225 & CASMA226) - The goal of this course is to give students an introduction to mathematical tools for solving difficult mathematics problems that arise in engineering science and mechanics. Students will learn the process of applied mathematics, which will enable them to take a hard problem, and gain insight into its important characteristics. Analytical theory, approximate techniques, and numerical methods will be used in a complementary manner to solve challenging engineering problems. Students will learn dimensional analysis and scaling, perturbation methods applied to polynomial and differential equations, variational calculus, integral equations, and concepts of stability and bifurcation. Students will apply these methods to mathematical problems in solid mechanics, thermodynamics, and dynamical systems.
