The above link has become inactive (the author, Robert Foley has apparently retired), but another professor has put the course notes into a pdf.

This looks very interesting. Thanks!

Could have used that a couple of years ago when I was at uni. Refreshing though, thanks.

Hey Astronuc,

Those are very good finds!, especially where it says: "the math you need to know", students should check out that, before learning the material.

[Astronuc]

I agree. It certainly helps to see the layout and the background needed. It might help students to understand the relevancy of the math they are taking in preparation for the engineering courses.
