Objective of the Course :

Without mathematics not a single day of an engineer will pass! All the topics
of this course are relevant to all branches of engineering. Differential equations
are used in various places. Laplace transformations are used, for example,
for conversion of domains, from time domain to frequency domain. These
are also used to solve ordinary differential equations. When data is given at
only a finite points, we use numerical methods for find the approximate values
of functions, also to solve differential equations approximately etc. Maxima,
minima of a function has got many applications.
