SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the relevance of the Advanced Engineering Calculus class for Electrical Engineering (EE) students. Key topics covered in the course include non-dimensionalization, elementary asymptotics, perturbation theory, and Hamiltonian formulations, which are applicable in various engineering fields, including quantum mechanics. Participants agree that the mathematical concepts taught, such as Laplace transforms and special functions, are beneficial for EE students, particularly for those interested in fluid mechanics and quantum applications.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Calculus 3
  • Familiarity with differential equations
  • Basic knowledge of fluid mechanics
  • Introduction to quantum mechanics concepts
NEXT STEPS
  • Research non-dimensionalization techniques in engineering
  • Study perturbation theory applications in quantum mechanics
  • Explore Hamiltonian formulations in advanced physics
  • Learn about Laplace transforms and their applications in engineering
USEFUL FOR

Electrical Engineering students, mechanical engineers, and anyone interested in advanced mathematical techniques applicable to fluid mechanics and quantum physics.

I've been told that usually Mech Eng's or Aerospace Eng's take this class, haven't heard much for EE's but it definitely sounds interesting.

Advanced Engineering Calculus - Extends the treatment of engineering mathematics beyond the topics covered in Calculus 3 and differential equations. Topics include non-dimensionalization, elementary asymptotics and perturbation theory, Reynold's transport theorem and extensions of Leibnitz's rule, as applied to continuum conservation equations, Hamiltonian formulations, Legendre and Laplace transforms, special functions and their orthogonality properties.

Thanks for any help.

Unfortunately, I can't find any old class pages or books that use/will be using. From some searches I've found that it seems like a fluid mechanics class, which I have no experience with. Most of the math though looks similar to E&M math, can anyone confirm this?

Thanks.
 
Seems useful to me. It'd be hard to have enough applied maths courses. Pertubation theory appears in many areas, if you get into the quantum side things it would be quite useful there. Hamiltonian stuff is useful for quantum too, and Laplace, special functions and Sturm-Liouville theory is always good. Go for it I say.
