GENEM601 Engineering Mathematics equips Civil Engineering students with essential mathematical tools for analyzing and designing infrastructure projects. This module covers sequences, series, complex numbers, ordinary differential equations, descriptive statistics, and probability, directly applying to real-world challenges like structural stability and risk assessment.
The curriculum spans five learning units: applying sequences and series, complex numbers in problem-solving, solving first- and second-order ordinary differential equations, descriptive statistics for grouped and ungrouped data, and probability distributions including discrete and normal. These topics build foundational skills for modeling dynamic systems in civil projects.
Civil engineers rely on differential equations to simulate structural responses to loads, such as vibrations in bridges or fluid flow in dams. Complex numbers aid in electrical systems for smart infrastructure, while statistics and probability enable risk analysis for seismic events and material variability.
