00190001 - Mathematical Foundations for Engineers

This course will cover mathematical foundations for engineering, covering a selection of methods:

1. Linear algebra: Gaussian elimination, decompositions, minimum principles and eigenvalues.
2. Equations of equilibrium: where we apply linear algebra in some discrete cases.
3. Continuous equilibrium: where we study differential equations.
4. Transform techniques: Fourier series and integrals, complex variables and conformal maps.

The course will be based on Gilbert Strang's book Introduction to Applied Mathematics (ST/517 in the Civil Engineering Library), and will be taught by Dr. Raphael Stuhlmeier (raphaels@technion.ac.il).

Further details to follow.

NB: the course will be taught in English.
