SSCE 1693
(Engineering Mathematics 1)
Engineering Mathematics I includes topics in basic calculus and algebra. The focus is on differentiation and integration of functions involving inverse trigonometric functions, hyperbolic and inverse hyperbolic functions; improper integrals; series; vectors including line and plane equation; matrices including vector spaces, eigenvalues and eigenvectors; polar coordinates; and complex numbers including de Moivre theorem.

(Engineering Statistics)
This course begins with an introduction to statistics in engineering, elementary probability theory and properties of probability distributions. Next, an introduction to sampling distribution, point and interval estimation of parameters and hypothesis testing is covered. The latter is extended to a one-way analysis of variance when testing more than two means are considered. Goodness-of-fit and independence tests as well as a simple linear regression are also taught in this course. Students will also be exposed to and trained in the use of computer software such as Microsoft Excel and SPSS to carry out a practical data analysis.
SSCE 1793
(Differential Equations)
This is an introductory course on differential equations. Topics include first order ordinary differential equations (ODEs), linear second order ODEs with constant coefficients up to fourth order, method of Laplace transforms, Fourier series, and partial differential equations (PDEs).

(Engineering Mathematics 2)
This course is about multivariable calculus of real and vector-valued functions. The basic theory of partial derivatives and multiple integrals of real functions with their applications are discussed. This theory is extended to vector valued functions to describe motion in space, directional derivatives, gradient, divergence and curl, line integrals, surface integrals and volume integral. Related theorems, namely Green’s Theorem, Stokes’ Theorem and Gauss’ Divergence Theorem and their applications are discussed.
