Engineering Mathematics (Vector Calculus, Laplace Transforms, Differential Equations, Complex Integration)

29 € /h

I hold a PhD in Mechanical Engineering and currently work as a post-doctoral researcher in the Aerospace Engineering Faculty at TU Delft (Delft University of Technology).
Key topics that I teach for this course include:
• Calculus: Differentiation & integration, Multivariable calculus
• Linear Algebra: Matrices, vectors, systems of equations, Eigenvalues and eigenvectors
• Differential Equations: First- and second-order ODEs, Laplace transforms
• Complex Numbers: Polar form, Euler’s formula
• Vector Calculus: Gradient, divergence, curl, Line and surface integrals
• Series & Transforms: Taylor series, Fourier series

I understand that not all teachers excel in teaching Engineering and Mathematics courses and explaining their importance to students. Courses with strong mathematical backgrounds may become boring for students who lack a solid mathematical basis. To address this, I take a student-centered approach, starting from the basics to actively engage all students, including those with weaker mathematical backgrounds. I also provide practical examples to demonstrate the real-world significance of what they are learning, inspiring and fostering their interest in the subject matter.

If you have any additional questions before starting a class, please feel free to ask me. I am here to assist! :)

Holder of a State Engineering DIPLOMA in mechanical engineering from ENSEM-Casablanca, Morocco, in 2014 and associate professor in mechanical engineering from the year 2016, I acquired solid knowledge in the field of engineering sciences. engineer especially in mechanical engineering as well as teaching pedagogy.
I consider myself to be a versatile profile, since I have experiences in the industrial field (design, production ...) as that of higher education: preparation of courses (calculation, design, thermodynamics, hydraulics ... .), give technical training, supervise students' projects and internships ....

I worked on a lot of design and realization project of manufacturing ranges which helped me master the different CAD, DAO AND CAM software such as catia V5, solidworks, autocad, featureCAM ..

I hope this presentation was clear and concise.

As an engineer, I would like to help other students navigate the sometimes complex world of mathematics and physics. During my studies, I tutored for 6 years in secondary schools in the region of The Hague, Delft, Rotterdam and Antwerp. I try to go through the course material interactively with the student and link theoretical concepts as much as possible to examples from our daily lives in order to prepare and motivate the student.

So if you would like tutoring on one or more subjects in mathematics or physics, you can contact me.

I tutor students from primary and secondary education to higher education. From multiplication tables to quadratic equations, logarithmic and exponential functions, limits, derivatives, integrals,... Everything is possible!

In the first session, we will:

- Get to know each other.
- Understand the student's strengths and identify areas for improvement.
- Understand the student's needs and difficulties.
- Get to know the student's schedule.
- Create a tutoring plan

Typically, sessions take place as follows:
i. Theoretical review of complex concepts in simple terms
ii. Tips for solving problems
iii. Abundance of exercises from my databases (exams, exercises)

If you are interested in my services, please provide the following information when contacting me:

- School system (French Bac, Matu, IB, A-levels)

A qualified professor offers private lessons in physics and chemistry tailored to the student's level and goals. The sessions take place in a friendly and dynamic setting, where students can ask any questions they wish without hesitation. The professor makes it a point of honor to make concepts accessible by using concrete examples and practical applications, so that the student can better understand the subjects taught.

Each course is personalized: whether preparing for an exam, filling in knowledge gaps, or strengthening skills, the approach is tailored to each situation. The instructor also offers additional resources such as targeted exercises and reading recommendations, allowing students to progress at their own pace.

In addition, regular monitoring is implemented to assess student progress and adjust teaching methods if necessary. The idea is to generate genuine interest in physics and chemistry and give students the keys to success with confidence.

This course is intended for preparatory year university students and all majors that rely on the study of differential and integral calculus (Calculus 1 & 2), such as: engineering in all its branches, natural sciences, computer science, economics, and management, in addition to any field that requires a strong foundation in mathematics.

In this course, we will go through a step-by-step explanation of the concepts of differentiation and integration, starting with limits, derivatives, and their rules, then moving on to practical applications of differentiation, such as maximum rates of change and solving physical and engineering problems. Finally, we will discuss definite and indefinite integration and its various methods of calculation, with practical applications for areas, volumes, and solving equations.

The lessons are designed in a simple and streamlined style that helps students understand complex concepts easily, with a focus on practical training through solving exercises and questions similar to those found on university exams. Detailed explanations of common mistakes and practical tips are also provided for confidently passing Calculus and achieving outstanding results.

This course is not limited to simply solving problems, but rather aims to build a solid mathematical foundation that will enable the student to pursue his other university courses more easily.
