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.

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
