This module provide students with knowledge of mathematical and computational techniques that are essential for Engineering and Materials Science students. Mathematical topics covered are matrix algebra, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, differentiation, Taylor and Mclaurin series, basic limits, integration and partial derivatives. Students will be trained in command prompt applications of the numerical and symbolic toolboxes of Python. The mathematical and computational techniques will be developed through the introduction of the fundamental principles of statics for linearly elastic materials and their application to structures. It focuses on the behaviour of structures, in particular beams and shafts, and provides underpinning knowledge for a range of analyses on applications relevant to engineering.
