Advanced Engineering Mathematics (For Computer Engineering)

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around recommendations for books on advanced engineering mathematics specifically for computer engineering (ComE). Participants explore the relevance and application of mathematics in computer engineering compared to other engineering disciplines.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about book recommendations for advanced engineering mathematics in ComE and questions the mathematical requirements in the field.
  • Another participant suggests that the mathematics required for computer engineering is similar to that for electrical engineering (EE) majors, noting differences in course requirements between ComE and computer science (CS) majors.
  • A participant mentions using Kreyzig's "Advanced Engineering Mathematics" for engineering courses, highlighting its strengths in linear algebra, ordinary differential equations (ODEs), and statistics, but notes its lack of coverage in discrete mathematics relevant to computer engineering.
  • Another participant recommends "The Art of Electronics" for electronics engineering and emphasizes the necessity of engaging deeply with mathematics in engineering studies.
  • A participant points out the existence of multiple books with the same title as the thread, suggesting they are well-regarded as accessible references for advanced engineering mathematics.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the mathematical intensity of computer engineering courses compared to other engineering disciplines, and there is no consensus on specific book recommendations for discrete mathematics.

Contextual Notes

Some participants mention the variability in course requirements and the potential influence of elective choices on the mathematical rigor experienced in computer engineering.

Hi is there any books you can recommend for advanced engineering mathematics for ComE? if yes please post the link...
And what's it all about maths in computer engineering?? or are they similar to any advanced math in engineering?

I would say no.

For a comp eng major at my uni you need all the regular courses a comp sci needs except you take 1 less stat course, and you take 1 more math course, diff EQ. You also take 1 more physics course that a comp sci major doesn't have to take.

I would say Math for comp eng would be more like math for EE majors.

As far as courses go, I don't find any of the comp eng courses that math intensive when you go into the core courses. But it may all depend which electives you take.

If you take electives more related to EE rather than Comp Sci then you'll find it more math intensive i'd assume.
 
I'm an EE and I've always used Kreyzig's "Advanced Engineering Mathematics" for my engineering math courses*. It's not an amazing book, but if you have a good background in math, and you're reasonably intelligent, it should work well.

* I.e. the courses that were not calculus 1, 2 and 3. I don't think the book would be good to learn the first 3 calculus courses. However, it does have nice coverage of linear algebra, ODEs, PDEs, statistics & probability and some other material.

Edit - I forgot to mention that it doesn't cover some topics that you'd want to know as a computer engineer, like discrete math and that entire branch of related math. I can't recommend a book for that material as I've never taken a discrete math class.
