PREFACE
This material is intended to serve as tutorial for 3rd course in current curriculum for all 2nd year
engineering students. The prerequisite for this material one has to complete Applied
Mathematics II. It is designed as a supplement to the course not a substitute of class attendance
and lecture note.
This material grew out of a regular course given by me over many years to 2nd year engineering
students and others. I have been influenced by the syllabus on Applied Mathematics III of the
university.
Topics covered include ordinary differential equations, Laplace transforms, vector analysis, and
complex variables. I have made great effort to include everything of the course outline. I have
tried to present graphs in some theorems and problems to make them more understandable. Each
topic starts with typical worked examples illustrating the main idea followed by many problems
and their solution. At the end of each chapter there are sufficient numbers of self check exercises
with their answers.
For better understanding of chapter III, revising vector algebra, matrix and determinant are
necessary. The chapter Taylor and Laurent series is not given more attention, the reason is that it
is similar to real sequences, power and Taylor series. The new concept is Laurent series which is
applicable to the last chapter given more emphasis.
I wish to take this opportunity to thank the university Gender Office for grateful idea to the
preparation of the material.
I wish you good luck and success. There will be some errors, since none of my colleague has
read the manuscript before. I am thankfully welcome if you have any comments, or work or if
you come up with a good idea for improving the material. Please feel free to contact me, send
them by email
