Subject Title
Advanced Mathematics

Subject Description
This course draws on the concepts introduced in preceding math courses, applying them to establishing a mathematical understanding of advanced communication and control principles. A sound background in integration techniques and simple differential equations is provided. Key topics in the course include the application of Fourier series to the spectral analysis of signals, and of Laplace transforms to the concepts of feedback and control.

Credit Status
One Subject Credit within the Computer Engineering Technology (ECT) and Electronics Engineering Technology (EET) Programs.

Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this subject the student will be able to:

Upon successful completion of this subject the student will be able to:

  1. Obtain integrals of a wide variety of functions using tables.
  2. Calculate selected types of integrals using: simple substitution, trigonometric substitution, power rule for integrals, integration by parts, and partial fractions.
  3. Calculate RMS values of key functions in electronics, such as sine, cosine, sawtooth, and square.
  4. Calculate MEAN values for a variety of commonly used functions, such as full-wave rectified sin, half- wave rectified, sine, sawtooth, and square.
  5. Solve first order differential equations with separable variables and integreable combinations.
  6. Calculate Laplace Transforms of simple functions, such as f(t) = 1 , t ,  t2 , sin(at) , cos(at) .
  7. Obtain forward and inverse Laplace Transforms using tables.
  8. Solve differential equations using Laplace transform, solve transient events in simple DC and AC circuits.

Academic Integrity
Seneca upholds a learning community that values academic integrity, honesty, fairness, trust, respect, responsibility and courage. These values enhance Seneca's commitment to deliver high-quality education and teaching excellence, while supporting a positive learning environment. Ensure that you are aware of Seneca's Academic Integrity Policy which can be found at: http://www.senecapolytechnic.ca/about/policies/academic-integrity-policy.html Review section 2 of the policy for details regarding approaches to supporting integrity. Section 2.3 and Appendix B of the policy describe various sanctions that can be applied, if there is suspected academic misconduct (e.g., contract cheating, cheating, falsification, impersonation or plagiarism).

Please visit the Academic Integrity website http://open2.senecac.on.ca/sites/academic-integrity/for-students to understand and learn more about how to prepare and submit work so that it supports academic integrity, and to avoid academic misconduct.

Discrimination/Harassment
All students and employees have the right to study and work in an environment that is free from discrimination and/or harassment. Language or activities that defeat this objective violate the College Policy on Discrimination/Harassment and shall not be tolerated. Information and assistance are available from the Student Conduct Office at student.conduct@senecapolytechnic.ca.

Accommodation for Students with Disabilities
The College will provide reasonable accommodation to students with disabilities in order to promote academic success. If you require accommodation, contact the Counselling and Accessibility Services Office at ext. 22900 to initiate the process for documenting, assessing and implementing your individual accommodation needs.

Camera Use and Recordings - Synchronous (Live) Classes
Synchronous (live) classes may be delivered in person, in a Flexible Learning space, or online through a Seneca web conferencing platform such as MS Teams or Zoom. Flexible Learning spaces are equipped with cameras, microphones, monitors and speakers that capture and stream instructor and student interactions, providing an in-person experience for students choosing to study online.

Students joining a live class online may be required to have a working camera in order to participate, or for certain activities (e.g. group work, assessments), and high-speed broadband access (e.g. Cable, DSL) is highly recommended. In the event students encounter circumstances that impact their ability to join the platform with their camera on, they should reach out to the professor to discuss. Live classes may be recorded and made available to students to support access to course content and promote student learning and success.

By attending live classes, students are consenting to the collection and use of their personal information for the purposes of administering the class and associated coursework. To learn more about Seneca's privacy practices, visit Privacy Notice.
