Calculus and Differential Equations

About

The subject “Calculus and Differential equation” is offered to students of all branches in engineering so that they can understand, analyze and model engineering problems scientifically with a strong background in Mathematics.

Calculus is concerned with relating quantities, which vary in a non-linear way. It is used extensively in science and engineering (like velocity, acceleration, and current in a circuit etc., for which the function may be linear or non-linear.). If a system (involving independent and dependent variables) is dynamic,then study of calculus helps to analyze the behavior of the parameters. The study of calculus and its applications to Science and Industrial problems is the most significant factor in the development of modern science.Most of the engineering problems are modelled as differential equations, starting from Newton’s laws of motion, Newton’s laws of cooling, bending of beams, motion of the planets, the spread of a disease, the oscillations of a suspension bridge, population dynamics, wave equations, heat equations etc. Therefore, study of differential equations is essential for most of the engineering applications.
