MATHS 2202 - Engineering Mathematics IIB

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2019

This course provides an introduction to vector analysis and complex calculus, which is relevant to physics and engineering problems in two or more dimensions, such as solid and fluid mechanics, electromagnetism and thermodynamics. The course also introduces Laplace transform methods for solving differential equations, which have application to engineering problems such as circuit analysis and control. Topics covered are: Vector calculus: vector fields; gradient, divergence and curl; line, surface and volume integrals; integral theorems of Green, Gauss and Stokes with applications; orthogonal curvilinear coordinates. Complex analysis: elementary functions of a complex variable; complex differentiation; complex contour integrals; Laurent series; residue theorem. Laplace transforms: transforms of derivatives and integrals; shifting theorems; convolution; applications to differential equations.

  • Assessment

    The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    Assessment Summary
    Component Weighting Objective Assessed
    Assignments 30% All
    Exam 70% All
    Assessment Related Requirements
    1. Aggregate score of at least 50%.
    2. Exam score of at least 45%.

    Final results for this course will be made available through Access Adelaide.

  • Student Feedback

    The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student’s disciplinary procedures.

The University of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The University of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
