IVLE8: [MA1506] Is The Exam Difficult?

Dear all,

Many (>20) students have asked me about the answers of the exam in the recent two hours, so I wrote some hints here (maybe not correct, I did it in

I am afraid some of you have already threw your MA1506 Lecture notes and my tutorial notes into rubbish bin after you finish your last Math module in NUS.

I still want to recommend you some wonderful books, which are useless for MA1506 exam, but useful for you in the future.

1. For Electronic Engineering Students:
BOOK NAME: Laplace Transforms for Electronic Engineers.
AUTHOR: James G. Holbrook.
PUBLISH YEAR: 1959 (I think it may be as old as your parents, )

RECOMMEND REASON: Telling you why you are required to take the tough MA1506, and making you safely get a certification and a degree of NUS if you forget everything of MA1506 from now on.
Please notice that the appendix of the book (about 50 pages) is especially useful!

2. For Mechanical Engineering Students:
BOOK NAME: Mechanical Engineers Handbook.
AUTHOR: Dan B. Marghitu
PUBLISH YEAR: 2001

RECOMMEND REASON: You can find that what we learnt this semester is the appendix, and with these knowledge the whole handbook is not so difficult.

3. For Chemical Engineering Students:
BOOK NAME: Mathematical Modeling. A Chemical Engineer's Perspective.
AUTHOR: Rutherford Aris
PUBLISH YEAR: 1999

RECOMMEND REASON: Containing many models you may meed in the future, so just copy or make some slightly change is enough.
