This specialization was developed for engineering students to self-study engineering mathematics. We expect students to already be familiar with single variable calculus and computer programming. Through this specialization, students will learn matrix algebra, differential equations, vector calculus, numerical methods, and MATLAB programming. This will provide them with the tools to effectively apply mathematics to engineering problems and to become well-equipped to pursue a degree in engineering. To get a better understanding of what this specialization has to offer, be sure to watch the Promotional Video!

What's inside

Five courses

Matrix Algebra for Engineers

(0 hours)
This course covers the linear algebra that engineers should know. It is presented at an advanced high school level, but it is recommended that students have completed a university-level single variable calculus course.

Differential Equations for Engineers

(0 hours)
This course covers differential equations, both in theory and application. Students will learn about ordinary differential equations in the first five weeks, and partial differential equations in the sixth week.

Vector Calculus for Engineers

(0 hours)
This course covers both the theoretical foundations and practical applications of Vector Calculus. Students will learn about scalar and vector fields, differentiate fields, multidimensional integration and curvilinear coordinate systems, line and surface integrals, and the fundamental theorems of vector calculus.

Numerical Methods for Engineers

(0 hours)
This course covers the most important numerical methods that an engineer should know, including root finding, matrix algebra, integration and interpolation, ordinary and partial differential equations.

Mathematics for Engineers: The Capstone Course

(0 hours)
Mathematics for Engineers: The Capstone Course provides a capstone project for students completing the Mathematics for Engineers specialization. Students will learn basic computational fluid dynamics concepts and apply them to compute fluid flow around a cylinder. MATLAB online and grader access are provided.

Learning objectives

  • How to work with matrices and understand some fundamental concepts from linear algebra.
  • How to solve differential equations and apply them to model physical phenomena.
  • How to extend single variable calculus to three dimensions and differentiate and integrate scalar and vector fields.
  • How to analyze basic numerical techniques and write scientific computation programs in matlab.
