Engineering Mathematics
Engineering mathematics is a branch of applied mathematics concerning mathematical methods and techniques that are typically used in engineering and industry.
In engineering mathematics, one may deal with the following topics:
Fourier series and approximation by trigonometric polynomials
Orthogonal and generalized Fourier series
Fourier integrals
Fourier cosine and sine transforms
Fourier transform
Basic concepts in partial differential equations (PDEs)
Wave equation and its solution by separating of variables
D'Alembert's solution for wave equations
The heat equation and its solution by Fourier series
Single-variable complex functions
Limits, continuity, and derivatives of complex functions
Cauchy-Riemann equation and Laplace's equation
Line integral in the complex plane
Cauchy's integral theorem
Cauchy's integral formula
Conformal mapping
