Group Assignment (9% of course marks).

The purpose of this assignment is to allow you to relate the mathematical concepts

that are covered in class to the real world engineering problems. You have to find a

sample case study where the mathematical concepts are used effectively to solve an

engineering problem. In your assignment, you must:

1. Identify one or more mathematical concepts of your interest.2. State how these concepts are actually used in the case study you selected.

For example, you may choose the topic of complex numbers and the case study that

you have selected might be related to how the concept is being used to calculate

power dissipation of an element in a circuit involving alternating currents. If possible,include some sample calculations as to how the concepts are used in your case study.

Include some computer simulations to validate your calculations (optional).

Marks for the assignment will be given based on the criteria explained in Table 2:
