Exam Questions in Engineering Mathematics

AI Thread Summary
Engineering students are seeking online resources for exam questions related to Engineering Mathematics, particularly to compare curricula across universities. Topics of interest include integration, differentiation, series expansions, complex numbers, matrix algebra, Boolean algebra, and differential equations. First-year studies often recap A-level mathematics and introduce more advanced concepts, while second-year coursework includes Laplace transforms, partial differentiation, and Fourier series. Resources like OCR past papers are recommended for finding relevant questions. This discussion highlights the need for accessible exam materials to aid in understanding various engineering mathematics topics.

Does anyone know where I can find engineering exam questions on the web. I am trying to do a survey of various questions from different universities.
 
Mathematics news on Phys.org
Just look for questions on topics that are taught in Engineering Maths. I study EE at university, so if you like I could tell you the topics we cover.
 
Would like to know which topics you cover in the EE course.
 
Ok. A level maths (or similar) is needed to study EE (in most places in england). If you type 'OCR past papers' into google, there should be some past maths papers you can look at there.

In the first year the A level syllabus was recapped. We then went on to look at:

Intergration and differentiation in more detail

Series - Maclaurin's, Taylor's, LaHopital's rule and binomial

Complex Numbers - Argand Diagrams, Polar Cordinates, exponential form etc

Matrix Algebra - Determinants, Transpose, Gauss Elemination, Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors etc

Boolen Algebra

First and second order differential equations


In the second year we have studied:

Laplace Transforms (using a table of transforms and rules, not having to intergrate much)

Partial Differentiation, multiple integrals

Fourier Series + convolution and correlation

Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'
Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'
Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
