Module summary

The teaching and assessment methods shown below will be kept under review during 2020-21. In particular, if conditions allow for alternative formats of delivery, we may amend the timetable and schedule appropriate classes in addition to (or in place of) the Online Learning Workshops. For Semester 2 (from January 2021), we anticipate that this will be most likely, in which case online teaching will be substituted for traditional face-to-face teaching methods, including lectures and practical classes. ‘Independent online learning’ will involve watching pre-recorded lecture material or screen-casts, engaging in learning activities such as online worked examples or remote/virtual laboratory work, etc. Students will be expected to fully engage with all of these activities. The time commitment for independent online learning, and also the frequency and duration of Online Learning Workshops, are approximate and intended as a guide only. Further details will be confirmed when the module commences.

Objectives

Building on the semester 1 mathematics topics, this module provides students with a knowledge and understanding of the key mathematical principles necessary to underpin their education in electronic engineering. On completion of this module students should be able to apply mathematical methods, tools and notations to the analysis and solution of electronic engineering problems.

Learning outcomes
On completion of this module students should be able to:

1. Derive and use Laplace Transforms of piecewise continuous and periodic functions.
2. Add, subtract and multiply simple matricesand perform spatial transformations using matrices.
3. Express and solve simultaneous linear algebraic equations in matrix form.
4. Calculate the inverse of a square matrix, and use the inverse to solve simultaneous linear equations.
5. Calculate the determinant of a square matrix, and find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a square matrix.
6. Diagonalise a square matrix.
7. Formulate differential equations corresponding to 2nd order linear systems, and solve 2nd order differential equations with constant coefficients.
8. Solve coupled 1st order differential equations.
9. Derive the Laplace Transforms of basic mathematical functions.
10. Use Laplace transformation to derive the s-domain equivalents of circuits containing L, C and R, and predict system response based on the location of the system poles.

Private study

Students are expected to use private study time to consolidate the material covered in lectures, to undertake preparatory work for examples classes and to prepare for summative assessments.

Opportunities for Formative Feedback

Students receive feedback on their progress through the examples classes and the in-semester tests.
