MT1652: Mathematics for Engineers 2B
This course introduces first year engineering students
to
- Simple first order differential equations.
- Second order ordinary differential equations.
- Matrices, determinants, eigenvalues and eigenvectors.
- Basic ideas in statistics.
The course is currently taught by
Dr. Matthias Heil. This page provides online access to the lecture
notes, example sheets and other handouts and announcements.
Please note that the lecture notes only summarise the main results
and will generally be handed out
after the material has been covered in the lecture.
If you have any questions about the lecture, please see me in my
office (18.07), contact me by email (
M.Heil@maths.man.ac.uk) or catch me after the lecture.

EXAM: As far as I know (please
check!), the exam will be on May 18, 2000 from
2-4pm
Please note that this course has not been given before, so there
are
no (representative) old exams available.
Here's a mock exam paper
which should give you some idea of what
to expect...
GOOD LUCK!

The course will be examined in a two hour exam in June.
Coursework (in the form of two module tests) will
account for 20% of the final mark. The module tests will be
held during the normal lecture times and the dates
will be announced approximately 2 weeks in advance.

Exam Revision:
Do you need more material to revise for the exam? Try this site:
I also recommend Schaum's Outline Series (that's the title of the
series -- Schaum is not the author!) which you can find in the
library.
