68038 Advanced Mathematics and Physics
6cp; 5hpwRequisite(s): (68037 Physical Modelling OR (68042 Physical Modelling A AND 68043 Physical Modelling B)) AND (33230 Mathematical Modelling 2 AND 48520 Electronics and Circuits)
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.
