Course: MATH 333

Title: Methods of Applied Mathematics I
Textbook: Advanced Engineering Mathematics by Zill and Wright (Fifth Edition)
Course Objectives: The objective of the course is to introduce students to calculus of vector functions,
Laplace and Fourier transforms, Fourier series and partial differential equations.
Catalog Description: Special functions. Bessel's functions and Legendre polynomials. Vector analysis
including vector fields, divergence, curl, line and surface integrals, Green's, Gauss' and Stokes' theorems.
Sturm -Liouville theory. Laplace transforms. Fourier series and transforms. Introduction to partial
differential equations and boundary value problems in rectangular, cylindrical and spherical coordinates.
Prerequisites: MATH 201, MATH 202 or MATH 208
Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
1. Calculate the line integral along plane or space curves and the surface integral over surfaces in 3D-
space.
2. Compute different types of integrals using Green's, Stokes' and Divergence theorems
3. Evaluate Laplace transform, inverse Laplace transform, and Fourier integral of a function.
4. Find Fourier series, Fourier cosine/sine series, Bessel and Legendre series of a function.
5. Evaluate the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions for a given Sturm-Liouville boundary-value problem.
6. Solve boundary-value problems for wave, heat, and Laplace equations in various coordinate
systems by variable separable method.
7. Use Laplace, inverse Laplace, Fourier, and inverse Fourier transforms to solve linear initial and
boundary-value problems.

Assessment Policy:
Type of
Assessment Percentage Date Material
Major Exam 1 25% Wednesday February 23, 2022 Chapter 9
Major Exam 2 25% Saturday April 9, 2022 Chapter 4 and12
Final 35% Check Registrar’s Website Comprehensive
Classwork 15% Depends on your instructor
Classwork Interval: The classwork score should be in the interval [70%, 75%].
Misconduct in Exams: The University takes any instances of academic misconduct very seriously. A
student who cheats or attempts to cheat will be reported to the university administration for the
appropriate course of action
Missing an Exam: In case a student misses an exam (Exam I, Exam II, or the Final Exam) for a
legitimate reason (such as medical emergencies), he must bring an official excuse from Students Affairs.
Otherwise, he will get zero in the missed exam.
Attendance: Students are expected to attend all lecture classes.
• If a student misses a class, he is responsible for any announcement made in that class.
• A DN grade will be awarded to any student who accumulates more than 20% unexcused absences
or 33% excused and unexcused absences.
