Engineering Mathematics - I
First Year • Semester 1 • NEP Syllabus
Applied Mathematics I (1AS100BS)
**Course Aim:** To impart the sound knowledge on the principles of Mathematics involving the different application-oriented topics required for all engineering students.
Infinite Series
Convergence: A series converges if the sum of its terms approaches a finite limit.
Tests: D'Alembert's Ratio Test, Cauchy's Root Test, and Raabe's Test are used to determine convergence.
Differential Calculus
Successive Differentiation: Finding nth order derivatives.
Leibnitz's Theorem: Used to find the nth derivative of the product of two functions.
Expansions: Taylor's and Maclaurin's series expand functions into infinite sums.
Partial Differentiation
Partial Derivative: Derivative of a function of multiple variables with respect to one variable, keeping others constant.
Euler's Theorem: Relates homogeneous functions to their partial derivatives: x(∂u/∂x) + y(∂u/∂y) = nu.
Applications of PD
Maxima & Minima: Finding extreme values of functions of two variables (rt - s² > 0).
Lagrange's Multipliers: A method to find local maxima and minima of a function subject to equality constraints.
First Order Differential Equations
Exact DE: Mdx + Ndy = 0 is exact if ∂M/∂y = ∂N/∂x.
Linear DE: Equation of the form dy/dx + Py = Q. Solved using Integrating Factor (I.F. = e^∫Pdx).
Applications of Differential Equations
Electrical Circuits: Modeling L-R and C-R circuits using first-order differential equations.
Kirchhoff's Laws: Used to set up the DEs for current and charge in circuits.
