Calculus and Applications B

MATH10232 Calculus and Applications B 15 Semester 2 Undergraduate Level 1 Joel Daou Unit coordinator Department of Mathematics 1 FHEQ level (Framework for Higher Education Qualifications) ' First part HE study/Bachelors ' European Credit Transfer & Accumulation System Rating : 7.5 The unit will cover first and second order ordinary differential equations including classification and standard solution methods. Applications will be drawn from the field of classical mechanics, but no prior experience in mechanics is expected or required. Matlab will be used to illustrate some of the ideas and methods.

Applications will be drawn from the field of classical mechanics, but no prior experience in mechanics is expected or required. Matlab will be used to illustrate some of the ideas and methods. This course unit aims to introduce students to ordinary differential equations, primarily covering methods of solution and applications to physical situations. On completion of this unit successful students will be able to solve first order and second order linear problems and first order separable equations analytically. Use substitution methods and power series methods to find solutions. Be able to investigate solutions using direction fields and Euler's method. Have used Matlab as a mathematical tool and used differential equations to solve problems in mechanics and other applications. 1.Introduction: concept of mathematical modeling; definition and classification of ordinary differential equations; order; linear and autonomous equations. 2.First-order ordinary differential equations: separable, graphical and numerical solutions; initial conditions; direction fields; Euler's method; use of Matlab; existence and uniqueness of solutions; integrating-factor methods; power series; substitution methods for nonlinear equations; phase plane and stability; population modelling. 3.Higher-order ordinary differential equations: general solution of linear, second-order equations; initial and boundary conditions; homogeneous equations; particular integrals; method of undetermined coefficients; harmonic oscillators; resonance; coupled systems; phase portraits; substitution methods for nonlinear equations; plane autonomous systems; predator-prey systems. 4.Mechanics: particle kinematics in Cartesian and polar coordinates; Newton's laws; forces; Newton's law of gravitation; work and energy; motion along a line (potential wells); equilibrium and stability; simple systems of particles; simple pendulum; compound pendulum; double pendulum. 0 Other 25% 1 Written exam 75% Submssion of homework for supervisions: Weighting within unit 10%Coursework; Weighting within unit 15%Examination; Weighting within unit 75%  Feedback supervision will provide an opportunity for students' work to be discussed and provide feedback on their understanding.  Coursework or in-class tests (where applicable) also provide an opportunity for students to receive feedback.  Students can also get feedback on their understanding directly from the lecturer, for example during the lecturer's office hour.  MATH10212 Linear Algebra B Co-Requisite Compulsory N James Stewart, Calculus, Early Transcendentals, Thomson, 5th Edition, International Student Edition, 2003.C.
