Results for Math41

Introduction to wind power resource assessment and project development. Topics include the dynamics of large-scale and small-scale wind systems, vertical scaling of winds in the boundary layer, measurement instruments used for resource assessments, wind turbine technology, and wind farm siting, planning and economics. Analysis methods of wind data, use of industry-standard software for optimizing turbine siting and project feasibility studies. Project work using existing resource assessment from local areas. Prerequisite: Math41/42 or equivalent. Limited enrollment.

Introduction to differential and integral calculus of functions of one variable. Topics: limits, rates of change, the derivative and applications, introduction to the definite integral and integration. Math 41 and 42 cover the same material as Math 19-20-21, but in two quarters rather than three. Prerequisites: trigonometry, advanced algebra, and analysis of elementary functions, including exponentials and logarithms.

Students attend MATH 41 lectures with different recitation sessions, four hours instead of two, emphasizing engineering applications. Prerequisite: application; see http://soe.stanford.edu/edp/programs/ace.html.
