TOPICS
This unit is in two parts: A and B.

Part A  This half of the unit (24 hours of lectures/tutorials) covers the development of stochastic processes. It develops a theoretical framework for the study of systems that involve uncertainty and illustrates the theory using applications, for example in signal processing and communications, and provides techniques for solving problems that arise in engineering practice. Topics include random experiments and statistical regularity; conditional inference; sequential experiments; random variables; distribution functions; functions of random variables; transform methods; probability and moment generating functions; vector random variables and sums of random variables; defining and specifying a random process; stationary processes; Gaussian process; Poisson process; power spectral density; and white noise.

Part B This half of the unit (24 hours of lectures/tutorials) covers (1) the development of the general theory of electromagnetism based on Maxwell's equations; (2) illustration of the theory using applications taken from electrical and electronic engineering; and (3) introduction to practical techniques for solving problems in electromagnetism. Topics include an introduction to vector calculus; electrostatics—Gauss's Law, electric potential, polarisation, energy stored in an electric field, steady current flow, resistance and capacitance, boundary conditions, Poisson's equation and Laplace's equation; magnetostatics—Biot-Savart Law, Ampere's Law, magnetic scalar and magnetic vector potential, magnetisation, boundary conditions, energy stored in a magnetic field, inductance and mutual inductance, and review of magnetic circuits.
