Math skills needed for FE EI EIT exam

Math is 15% of morning points. It is base of the engineering. You have to be good at math in order to be a good engineer.

Don't be scared by the terms. You have learned all of them in the college. Some of them you already learned even in your middle school.

 

1. Number Systems -

• binary,
• decimal,
• octal,
• hex number systems.

 

2. Algebra -

• equations,
• polynomials,
• linear equations,
• complex numbers,
• series.

 

3. Linear Algebra -

• Matrix,
• matrix operations, and applications, one application is truss analysis;
•  Equation of a Line

 

4. Trigonometry -

• Angles in plane,
• triangles,
• Trigonometric functions.
• Trigonometry
•  Law of Sins
•  Law of Cosines

 

5. Analytic Geometry - also known as coordinate geometry, or Cartesian geometry;

 

6. Integral Calculus - the integration to calculate areas bounded by curves, volumes surrounded by surfaces, and to find solutions of differential equations;
7. Vector Analysis - deals with the quantities which have both magnitude and direction, like force, velocity;
Vectors

 

 

8. Differential Equation - is a math equation which variable related with the value of function itself and its derivatives of various orders. Engineering analysis is heavily depend on this kind of math equations;

•  Differential Equation
•  Laplace Transformation
•  Numerical Method
•  Numerical Integration
•  Fourier Transform

 

9. Differential Calculus - using differentiation to calculate rates of change of a function and the max and min values of a function. Applications can be calculating the slopes of curve, acceleration of moving objects, and compound interest.
 Difference Equations

 

 Converting Units
 Quadratic Equations
 Conic Sections
 Logarithms
  Euler Relation
 Polar Coordinates
  Matrix
  Progression and Series
 Graphing Function
 Derivatives
 Integrals
 Curvature
 L'Hospital's Rule
 Taylor's Series
 Gradient

You know all these math skills maybe tested in FE/EI/EIT exam.

 

You got to LOVE math!
