Overview

Engineering Mathematics is the art of applying mathematics to complex real-world problems. It combines mathematical theory, practical engineering and scientific computing to address today’s technological challenges. It is a creative and exciting discipline, spanning traditional boundaries. Engineering mathematicians can be found in an extraordinarily wide range of careers, from designing next generation Formula One cars to working at the cutting edge of robotics, from running their own business creating new autonomous vehicles to developing innovative indices for leading global financial institutions. Mathematics or particularly applied mathematics is widely used in every engineering fields. In the various engineering fields, different forms of math may be applied to achieve a specific solution. For instance, linear algebra is widely applied in electrical engineering to design electrical circuits. Boolean algebra is the basis of digital logic design, a key component of building computers. In civil and mechanical engineering, geometry is used to design structures and ensure that they perform in a safe and meaningful way. When designing a bridge, civil engineers may use differential equations to calculate the approximate size of the supporting piers needed. They may also use complex mathematical modeling to predict the lifespan of the structure to be constructed. Industrial engineers use calculus to find the rate at which certain variables will change in a given operation. Industrial engineering routinely entails making approximations and safe estimations to ensure that all processes are properly controlled. One or more forms of mathematics are used in these approximations and estimations.
