68038 Advanced Mathematics and Physics

6cp; 5hpw

This subject provides knowledge of mathematical methods needed for analysis of electric and magnetic fields and for circuit analysis and signal processing. It also provides an introduction to quantum physics and its application to semiconductor electronic and opto-electronic devices. The mathematics and physics components complement each other so that students develop both their theoretical and their experimental skills. Topics covered are: vector calculus; functions of a complex variable; partial differential equations and boundary value problems; the concepts of quantum mechanics and Schrödinger's equation; and applications of quantum mechanics to semiconductors and electronic devices.
