The use of a digital computer in engineering mathematics

Abstract

The branch of engineering mathematics is considered in this project. In particular, the topics of fundamental importance in electrical engineering are those considered, especially from the fields of control and communication theory. Hence, the use of a digital computer in depicting engineering mathematichs is treated. Therefore simulation of these important topics is performed, after explaining the mathematical requirements needed in such topics. The main areas of engineering mathematics treated in this work are four. These include convolution (time domain analysis ), Fourier Transforms pairs ( frequency domain analysis ), the solution of differential equations (mathematical analysis ), and modulation. The use of a digital computer in simulating these processes proved to be very effective. This work demonstrates the adaptability and efficiency of a digital computer in the simulation of processes in engineering mathematics, both from the simplicity of the algorithms developed and also from the educational aspect.
