Engineering Mathematics 2
Module H1034
Module details for 2027/28.
15 credits
FHEQ Level 4
Full Module Description
This module focuses on methods for solving differential equations and partial differential equations, including mathematical modelling, integral calculus, initial value problems, and Laplace transforms. It also introduces the concepts of power series and their use in engineering applications. Throughout this module, these mathematical concepts are reinforced through engineering applications and industry-standard computational solutions.
Module Topics:
Sequences and Series, Maclaurin and Taylor Series, Differential Equations, First order differential Equations, Second order Differential Equations, Mathematical modelling, Laplace transform and solving differential equations with Laplace transform, Initial Value problems, Applications of Partial Differential Equations (PDE), PDE solution by separation of variables
AHEP4 Learning Outcomes: C1, M1, C2, M2, C3, M3.

Please note that the University will use all reasonable endeavours to deliver courses and modules in accordance with the descriptions set out here. However, the University keeps its courses and modules under review with the aim of enhancing quality. Some changes may therefore be made to the form or content of courses or modules shown as part of the normal process of curriculum management.
The University reserves the right to make changes to the contents or methods of delivery of, or to discontinue, merge or combine modules, if such action is reasonably considered necessary by the University. If there are not sufficient student numbers to make a module viable, the University reserves the right to cancel such a module. If the University withdraws or discontinues a module, it will use its reasonable endeavours to provide a suitable alternative module.
