Introduction Welcome to Engineering Mathematics at MDH. We have prepared a set of exercises that you can use to self-diagnose if their is any part of mathematics that you need to review. Please have a look at them, and try to solve them. In each section there are some exercises on material that we expect that you have seen before during your education. After each exercise you will find some keywords which you can use when looking for material relevant for solving the exercise. At the end of each section you will also find a list of textbooks which you can use to review the material. Please note that you can also use your old textbooks if you still have them, they almost certainly treat the same material. If you do not manage to solve the problem even after consulting the textbooks, you are of course welcome to contact us: Karl Lundengård (karl.lundengard@mdh.se) Johan Richter (johan.richter@mdh.se) 1
