Course
MAT105Differential And Difference Equations
Prerequisites
Objectives
The aim of this course is to develop the skills of the students in the areas of complex
variables, evaluation of definite integral by using contour integration, boundary value
problems and trans form techniques. This will be necessary for their effective studies in
Engineering subjects like heat conduction, fluid flow and electric current flow etc.
ExpectedOutcome
At the end of this course, the students are expected to develop the necessary
mathematical skills, physical understanding of problems and intuition to independently
analyze the mathematical equations which model the problems in their respective fields
of study.
