Engineering Mathematics - Mak 501E: Department of Mechanical Engineering

This document provides information about an engineering mathematics course offered at Istanbul Technical University. The course covers topics including ordinary differential equations, special functions, linear algebra, Fourier analysis, and partial differential equations. It will be taught on Tuesdays by Assistant Professor Dr. Erdinç Altuğ and uses Kreyszig's Advanced Engineering Mathematics textbook. Students will be assessed through two midterm exams, homework, quizzes, and a final exam. The goal is to provide students with advanced analytical methods for engineering research.
