π¦Ύ MotivationsΒΆ
Advanced mathematics is vital in engineering, as it provides the analytical framework necessary to solve complex problems that are central to designing, optimizing, and analyzing engineering systems. For university students, mastering advanced math concepts like differential equations and vector calculus is crucial because these tools are essential for understanding phenomena in all kinds of fields such as computing science, economics, business, mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, electrical circuits, etc. Advanced mathematics allows students to model real-world systems, simulate behavior, and predict outcomes with high precision, which is indispensable for creating innovative and reliable engineering solutions. Additionally, it sharpens critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, preparing students to approach challenges methodically and with confidence, ultimately shaping you into skilled engineers capable of tackling the demands of their future careers.
π ContentsΒΆ
Chapter 1 Functions and limits
Chapter 2 Derivatives and differential
Chapter 3 Mean value theorems in differential calculus and applications of derivatives
Chapter 4 Indefinite integral
Chapter 5 Definite integrals
Chapter 6 Applications of definite integrals
βοΈ How to pass?ΒΆ
You will receive three grades:
- A general grade: It will make up 30% of your final grade. And itself is made of
Class participation (10% of the final grade, 33% of the general grade)
Assignments and tests (20% of the final grade, 67% of the general grade)
A mid-term examination grade: Its grade will make up the rest 20% of your final grade.
A final examination grade: Its grade will make up the rest 50% of your final grade.
For example, if you get a general grade of 70 and score 75 and 82 in the mid-term exam and final exam, respectively, your final grade will be 70 * 0.3 + 75 * 0.2 + 82 * 0.5 = 77.
And, to pass this course, you will need a final grade of no less than 60.
π Teaching evaluationΒΆ
There will two Teaching evaluations, the early stage evaluation and the final evaluation.
Early stage evaluation: It happens around the fourth lecture week. Through it, you can let the lecturer know how to improve the lectures before it is too late.
Final evaluation: It will be released by the office of academic affairs at the end of the semester.
