Mathematics Laboratory
Summer Semester 2009
- Instructor:
Joerg-M. Sautter
- Target Audience:
Automotive Engineering students (2. semester)
- Volume:
14 x 2h
- Time and Location:
- Friday from 13:30 to 17:30 in room S07.110.
- Course Goals:
- This course extends the concepts and techniques from the lectures Mathematics I & II.
After an introduction to mathematical software, we will first solve standard
math problems an a computer. We will then learn new mathematical concepts and methods
in order to solve real life problems on a computer.
This class will form the basis of your set of everyday working skills required for
Engineering or Mathematics in industry.
- Topics:
- linear algebra, mechanical systems, applications in CAD,
approximation of data points and functions, interpolation, ordinary
differential equations, simulation of a vehicle's suspension system
- Exam:
- There will be a 30-minute midterm exam and a 60-minute final exam.
The overall results can be found
here.
- Homework:
- To do well in this course come to the lectures and do (and understand)
the homework. Selected homework problems will be graded. Late homework
will not be accepted or graded.
Students are encouraged to work in groups, however, all work turned in must be your own.
- Textbooks:
- No textbook is required for this course since all relevant materials will be provided.
Nevertheless, the following classic books might be useful:
- G.B. Thomas, R.L. Finney:
Calculus and Analytic Geometry,
Addison Wesley, 1995
- J. Farlow, J. Hall, B. West:

- Software:
- We will use the programming language
Matlab
for numerical computations and simulations in this course.
If you have a notebook, please feel free to bring it to the lecture since
computers are limited. Please make sure that you have Matlab installed on your
notebook prior to the first lecture. You can obtain Matlab for free
here.
