Math Methods in Molecular Engineering

Undergraduate / Graduate

This course will provide an overview of the general mathematical framework required for the further study of the basic theories (e.g., thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, transport) of molecular engineering. The content of this course mainly includes differential equations, statistics, complex analysis and integral transforms, which will be illustrated in the context of common problems in diffusion, heat conduction, particle transfer, and chemical reactions. This course will lay the mathematical foundations for further study in other thematic core courses for the Materials Systems area, as well as in future research activities.
