SUMMARY

Advanced mathematics courses significantly enhance the understanding of Robotics and Propulsion Engineering. Recommended courses include Fourier Analysis, which is crucial for signal processing in engineering applications, and Numerical Methods, which aids in solving complex engineering problems. Additionally, courses in Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) are essential for modeling physical systems in these fields. Engaging with faculty advisors and instructors can provide tailored guidance for selecting the most beneficial courses.

PREREQUISITES
  • Fourier Analysis
  • Numerical Methods
  • Partial Differential Equations (PDEs)
  • Advanced Calculus
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Fourier Analysis applications in Robotics and Mechatronics
  • Explore Numerical Methods for engineering problem-solving
  • Study Partial Differential Equations in the context of propulsion systems
  • Consult with faculty advisors about advanced math course selections
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineering students, aspiring graduate students in Robotics and Mechatronics, and professionals in propulsion engineering seeking to deepen their mathematical foundation.

Hey guys, I'm doing a Mechanical engineering major and a math minor and I have two math classes I can take at my own discretion. I was just wondering if there is any math class any current engineers would recommend I plan on going to Grad school and most likely doing a PhD after undergrad (I'll be a junior next semester). Math classes I've currently taking, have taken or will take as part of my major/minor curriculum are calculus 1, 2, 3, differential equations, linear algebra, vector calculus, and bridge to abstract mathematics. I have two math courses that are at least 4000 level or above that i need to take for the minor. I know math at higher levels gets more abstract but if you can think of any useful maths I'd love to hear it. Thank you.

P.S. My interest for grad school are in Robotics/Mechatronics and propulsion

Can you list the math classes that you are going to choose from? Is your faculty advisor an ME? Asking instructors that teach the grad school classes that you anticipate taking might also help.
 
Have you taken anything that teaches Fourier series? They show up a lot in engineering coursework.
