Trident Learning

This course is designed to assist the student to make the transition to University level mathematics, particularly those who are embarking upon studies in Engineering or Natural Sciences. Techniques for the analysis of higher order matrices and further manipulation of complex numbers are introduced. These build on the foundations established in MTH 161 and MTH 261. In statistics, students are taken beyond the basic statistical tools to discrete and continuous probability distributions and hypothesis testing. Concepts of linear algebra are further developed.

This course examines the general features of common mechanical systems and their properties.  The main focus is on dynamic systems including moving mechanisms with rotating and linear motions.  The drafting component focuses on the basic views for representing engineering drawings and sketching of these views from isometric views of objects.

This course introduces students to the terminology and principles of statics and kinetics as fundamental to mechanical engineering.  Topics include SI Units, force systems, moments, torque, graphical methods of solving triangles and polygon’s of forces, frameworks and friction and work and power.
