NOTES FOR STUDENTS
What is Academic Malpractice?
Academic malpractice relates to academic work that does not meet normal standards of academic practice and encompasses all kinds of academic dishonesty, whether deliberate or unintentional, which infringes the integrity of the College’s assessment procedures. ‘Candidate malpractice’ means malpractice by a candidate in the course of any examination or assessment, including the preparation and authentication of any controlled assessments or coursework, the presentation of any practical work, the compilation of portfolios of assessment evidence and the writing of any examination paper.

L01 Use applications of number theory in practical engineering situations
Assignment Brief and Guidance
Scenario:
You work as an engineer at a multinational manufacturing organisation, they have just taken on some new engineering apprentices. The research and development department has requested your assistance of the design of a manual containing set worked questions and their associated advanced mathematical techniques, which are likely to be consulted by their aspiring engineers in developing solutions to real problems. Therefore, solve the following task describing your thought process.
Task 1
a. Convert the following numbers into decimals. These bases are frequently used in computer engineering:
- 110011002
- 59014388
- 43A62C16
b. Multiply the following numbers:
- A516 * 248
- A12Hex * F8Hex
Task 2
The impedances Z1 and Z2 in an electric circuit are in series. What is the total impedance? State your answer in polar and rectangular forms.
● Z1 = (15 + j 10) Ω
● Z2 = 40 Ω
Task 3
- A system has an open-loop transfer function (G) given by:
G = 7 ej2π * 1.02 ej0.2 / 1.8 ej0.99
Simplify G.
- Express the following current in complex exponential form:
i(t) = 30cos (100t – 60°)
Task 4
Find a formula for cos (3θ) in terms of cos (θ) and sin (θ) using de Moivre’s theorem

LO2 Solve systems of linear equations relevant to engineering applications using matrix methods
Assignment Brief and Guidance
Scenario:
you are working as an engineer for a multinational manufacturing organisation who has just taken on some new apprentices. The research and development department has requested your assistance in the design of a booklet containing set worked engineering questions and their associated advanced mathematical techniques. This training booklet will be used aspiring engineers by developing solutions to real world problems. Therefore, solve the following tasks and describing your thought process.
Task 1:
Calculate the determinant of the matrix A.
| 1 | 2 | 7 | |
| det A = | 0 | 4 | 2 |
| 2 | -1 | 3 |
Task 2:
Solve the system of the three linear equations shown below using Gaussian elimination.
| (eq. 1) | 2 x1 | – | 2 x2 | + | 2 x3 | = | 0 |
| (eq. 2) | 8 x1 | + | 10 x2 | + | 2 x3 | = | 6 |
| (eq. 3) | -2 x1 | + | x2 | – | 3 x3 | = | 5 |
Task 3:
Determine the solutions to the set of engineering linear equations below by using the Inverse Matrix Method for a 3×3 matrix.
x + 2y +3z = 5
2x -3y -z = 3
-3x +4y + 5z = 3
Task 4:
Write a report on the analytical matrix solutions by:
– Briefly describing them.
– Evaluate your given solutions computed in this assignment by using these methods with appropriate computer software.
