1. + FE Mathematics Review Dr. Omar Meza Assistant Professor Department of Mechanical Engineering

2. + Topics covered  Analytic geometry  Equations of lines and curves  Distance, area and volume  Trigonometric identities  Algebra  Complex numbers  Matrix arithmetic and determinants  Vector arithmetic and applications  Progressions and series  Numerical methods for finding solutions of nonlinear equations  Differential calculus  Derivatives and applications  Limits and L’Hopital’s rule  Integral calculus  Integrals and applications  Numerical methods  Differential equations  Solution and applications  Laplace transforms

3. + Tips for taking exam  Use the reference handbook  Know what it contains  Know what types of problems you can use it for  Know how to use it to solve problems  Refer to it frequently  Work backwards when possible  FE exam is multiple choice with single correct answer  Plug answers into problem when it is convenient to do so  Try to work backwards to confirm your solution as often as possible  Progress from easiest to hardest problem  Same number of points per problem  Calculator tips  Check the NCEES website to confirm your model is allowed  Avoid using it to save time!  Many answers do not require a calculator (fractions vs. decimals)
