Engineering Maths

All engineering students have to study maths - and it's not easy maths. Most engineers don't exactly enjoy maths!

If you've just scraped a pass in your First Year calculus and linear algebra course, then you'll find your engineering maths course pretty rough. A mark of 50% means that in practise (after some scaling) you probably knew less than 50% of the course. Follow on courses assume that you know all of the previous course, so there will be holes in your knowledge that you'd better plug up as soon as possible.

If you're one of those mining engineers with a scholarship that you don't want to lose, then you might want to spend some money on maths tutoring rather than losing your scholarship if your average drops.

Engineering maths topics that geek chick can help you with include:

• First, second and higher order ordinary differential equations
• Variation of parameters
• First and second order partial differential equations
• Eigenvalues and eigenvectors
• Orthogonal matrices and diagonalisation
• Constrained extrema and Lagrange multipliers
• Quadric surfaces and quadratic forms
• Laplace transforms
• Taylor series
• Laplace transforms
• Fourier series
• Divergence, gradients and curl of scalar fields
• Line integrals
• Divergence & Stokes theorems
• Jacobian transformations
• Double & triple integrals - areas, mass and volumes in Cartesian, cylindrical and spherical coordinates
• Centre of mass and moments of inertia

If you've had some trouble finding a maths tutor who can cope with engineering maths, then you've just found your girl!
