This course introduces mathematical tools and techniques used to solve mechanical engineering problems. Topics include: intermediate linear algebra, numerical methods for linear systems of equations, solving nonlinear equations, and numerical integration and differentiation. Centre of gravity and centroids, moments of inertia, and vibrations are also introduced. Applications to engineering problems are stressed. The laboratory content consists of two components: numerical modelling and introductory training in parametric solid modelling software. Weekly hours: 1.5 Lecture hours and 1.5 Practicum/Lab hoursRestriction(s): Restricted to students in the College of Engineering. Prerequisite(s) or Corequisite(s): MATH 134.3 (taken) and GE 123.3 (taken)
