Mathematics 2 for Electrical Engineering EE2007

Prerequisites

Mathematics I.

Course Objectives

Students will learn to:

• Carry out calculations using complex numbers.
• Solve basic linear algebraic problems related to, among other things, equation systems and eigenvalues/eigenvectors.
• Use linear-algebraic methods for solving applied problems, particularly within the field of electrotechnology.
• Calculate direct current circuits made up of passive linear elements.
• Carry out simple calculations of magnetic circuits.
• Develop skills in using simulation tools.

Course Description

Calculation with complex numbers in Cartesian, trigonometric and exponential forms

Equations with complex solutions

Linear equation systems with applications

Matrix algebra

Vector spaces

Eigenvalues and eigenvectors with applications

Series and parallel direct current circuits

Network analyses

Capacitance and inductance

Magnetic circuits

Introduction to digital simulation tools

Learning Methods

Lectures, laboratory work in groups, simulation of circuit connectors, written exercises. In mathematics, the computer programme Maple will be used.

Assessment Methods

The final grade in the subject will be weighted as follows:

· Individual written mid-term examination (20%)
· Continuous assessment in electrical engineering (20%)
· Individual written final examination (60%)

In order to earn a passing grade for the course, the following two requirements must be satisfied:

· The cumulative grade, calculated according to this system, must be equivalent to an E or higher.
· At least one of the two examinations (mid-term and final) must receive an E grade or better.
