Abstract:

 The purpose of this lecture is to present an integrated treatment of mathematics and physics which are important to engineering analysis. In this lecture contains real-world applications, current examples, and great many illustrations to help students realize important concepts and apply the mathematical models to engineering problems. Mathematical results are given to some physical interpretations and engineering applications, such as fluid mechanics, aerodynamics, solid mechanics and vibrations. Dimensional analysis, method of least squares, linear and nonlinear differential equations, similarity and scaling laws of engineering problems, computer simulation will be also covered in this lecture.
