Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around seeking and providing practice questions for an upcoming engineering mathematics exam. The focus is on applying mathematical techniques to engineering problems, specifically in mechanical and electrical engineering contexts.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Exploratory

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests challenging practice questions that involve algebraic and trigonometric techniques as well as integral calculus for engineering applications.
  • Another participant provides specific problems related to temperature distribution in a rod and steady-state solutions in an LRC circuit.
  • A participant expresses uncertainty about the exam difficulty and seeks advice on how to prepare effectively.
  • One participant suggests focusing on mathematical rules and formulas to reduce errors, implying that familiarity with these concepts is crucial for success.
  • Another participant offers to send additional resources via email to aid in exam preparation.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the need for practice questions and the importance of understanding mathematical principles for the exam. However, there is uncertainty regarding the specific expectations of the exam and the level of difficulty.

Contextual Notes

Some participants express concerns about the complexity of the questions and the adequacy of their preparation, indicating a reliance on assumptions about the exam format and content.

Who May Find This Useful

Give Me A Question To Do Please !

Hi there

I have got a maths exam tomorrow, and i have to try and get a distinction grade to get into university, so would anyone give me some questions to do on the listed critera below:
The questions tomorrow are going to be quite hard, and is not just going to be normal questions for me to do, i will have to apply maths rules to it, so please please please give me some questions to do, so i can practice before the exam:
Thanks !

1.Solve realistic mech & elect eng problems which involve the application of both algebric & trig techniques.

2.Apply the integral calculus to more complex engineering problems.

hello there

here is some problems goodluck with the exam

find the temperature u(x,t) in a rod of length L if the initial temperature is f(x) throughout and if the ends x=0 and x=L are insulated

find the steady state solution q_p(t) and the steady state current in an LRC series circuit when the impressed voltage is E(t)=E_0*sin(yt)

Thanks !

Thanks for replying and the questions.

I will try and do it now and post the answers to see if i have got it right thanks !

It does look alittle complicated lol but i will have a go !

I am only studying National diploma yr 2 lol !

Thanks
 
hello Tino

well I originally started engineering in uni but eventually found my way to mathematics, but from my engineering days those two questions were question 1 for to different exercises, to engineers this should be ABC i hope, but if you havnt been to university I doubt they would expect you to know or ask such questions in an entry exam, if I were you, and if I don't know what to expect in the exam, I would focus on mathematical rules and formulas and be able to apply them to any such sanario, and so as a result you will reduce the risk of putting down errors, unless you are very prepared in my terminology "ready for wateva" :biggrin: , anyway good luck with the questions and the exam

hmm

Thanks

But u know what my maths teacher said the exam is going to be hard and we have to apply the rules of maths into engineering problems so how can i study for it ?

lol i really don't know

I only have one chance to succeed in the exam to get distinction so lol

Good luck yo myself lol
 
hello Tino

well If you send me your email address which carries a lot of memory, I will Send you something that will definitely help you out now and through out your engineering course, it has everything you want to know about this exam and everything you would want to know as a futue engineering student

steven
 
Thanks a bunch

Well here is me email address :

bobbick2002@yahoo.co.uk

Thanks a lot man i owe u one !

I think i have 1.0 GB of space so
