Advanced Engineering Mathematics (For Computer Engineering)

AI Thread Summary
Advanced engineering mathematics for computer engineering (ComE) is essential but varies in intensity compared to other engineering disciplines. ComE students typically take core courses similar to computer science majors, with slight differences in statistics and additional mathematics courses like differential equations. The math involved is generally less intensive in core courses, but this can change based on elective choices, particularly those related to electrical engineering (EE). Kreyzig's "Advanced Engineering Mathematics" is frequently recommended for its coverage of linear algebra, ordinary differential equations (ODEs), partial differential equations (PDEs), and statistics, though it lacks content on discrete mathematics, which is crucial for computer engineers. For electronics, "The Art of Electronics" is also noted as a valuable resource. Overall, a strong mathematical foundation is necessary, and students are encouraged to explore various resources to enhance their understanding.

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.

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
