| DESCRIPTION | This study-unit reviews general analytical and mathematical foundations as applied to computer engineering. These particularly include: algebraic complex and arithmetical analysis; calculus; trigonometry; statistical and probabilistic methods and general data representation. Particular attention will be paid to the applications of these foundations in hardware and software aspects of computer engineering including computer systems, telecommunications, multimedia signal processing, microelectronics, programming and control systems. The study-unit also introduces general good practice in general computer engineering project reporting with emphasis on quotation/citation/referencing skills and the avoidance of plagiarism. Study-unit Aims: The study-unit aims at providing a review of analytical and mathematical techniques and linking them to computer engineering applications. It also aims at providing insight of good practice in quoting, citing and referencing to ensure that plagiarism is avoided. Learning Outcomes: 1. Knowledge & Understanding By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - identify the analytical and mathematical techniques that need to be employed in diverse computer engineering applications; - report engineering findings appropriately. 2. Skills By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - demonstrate a good command of analytical and mathematical techniques that are required for the computer engineering course; - apply their analytical and mathematical foundations to computer engineering applications; - write computer engineering reports in-line with good practice in quoting, citing and referencing to avoid plagiarism.
