1For a 2x2 real matrix A with trace tr(A) = 7 and determinant det(A) = 10, what are the eigenvalues of A?
A.2 and 5
B.1 and 10
C.-2 and -5
D.3 and 4
Explanation: The characteristic polynomial of a 2x2 matrix A is given by lambda^2 - tr(A)*lambda + det(A) = 0. Here, lambda^2 - 7*lambda + 10 = 0, which factors as (lambda - 2)(lambda - 5) = 0, yielding eigenvalues lambda_1 = 2 and lambda_2 = 5.
2What is the inverse of the matrix A = [[3, 1], [5, 2]]?
A.[[-2, 1], [5, -3]]
B.[[2, 1], [5, 3]]
C.[[3, -1], [-5, 2]]
D.[[2, -1], [-5, 3]]
Explanation: The determinant of A is det(A) = (3)(2) - (1)(5) = 6 - 5 = 1. For a 2x2 matrix [[a, b], [c, d]], the inverse is (1/det(A)) * [[d, -b], [-c, a]]. Substituting the values gives [[2, -1], [-5, 3]].
3Let M be a 3x3 real square matrix with det(M) = 4. What is the determinant of the matrix 3*M?
A.27
B.36
C.12
D.108
Explanation: For an n x n matrix M and a scalar k, det(k*M) = k^n * det(M). For a 3x3 matrix (n = 3) and scalar k = 3, det(3*M) = 3^3 * det(M) = 27 * 4 = 108.
4A linear transformation T: R^5 -> R^3 has an image (range) of dimension 3. According to the rank-nullity theorem, what is the dimension of the kernel (null space) of T?
A.3
B.0
C.2
D.1
Explanation: The rank-nullity theorem states that for a linear map T: V -> W, dim(V) = rank(T) + nullity(T). Here dim(V) = 5 and rank(T) = dim(im(T)) = 3. Therefore, nullity(T) = dim(ker(T)) = 5 - 3 = 2.
5What is the radius of convergence R of the power series sum_{n=1}^infinity (x^n) / (n * 3^n)?
A.1
B.1/3
C.Infinity
D.3
Explanation: Using the ratio test, let a_n = 1 / (n * 3^n). The limit of |a_n / a_{n+1}| as n -> infinity is lim_{n->infinity} [(n+1)*3^{n+1}] / [n*3^n] = lim_{n->infinity} 3 * (1 + 1/n) = 3. Thus, the radius of convergence is R = 3.
6What is the value of the improper integral I = int_0^infinity e^(-4t) dt?
A.4
B.1/16
C.1
D.1/4
Explanation: Evaluating the antiderivative gives int e^(-4t) dt = -1/4 * e^(-4t). Evaluating from 0 to infinity yields lim_{b->infinity} [-1/4 * e^(-4b)] - [-1/4 * e^0] = 0 - (-1/4) = 1/4.
7What is the general solution of the first-order linear differential equation y' + 3y = 6?
A.y(x) = 6 + C * e^(-3x)
B.y(x) = 2 + C * e^(-3x)
C.y(x) = C * e^(-3x) - 2
D.y(x) = 2 + C * e^(3x)
Explanation: The homogeneous equation y' + 3y = 0 has general solution y_h(x) = C * e^(-3x). A constant particular solution y_p satisfies 3 * y_p = 6, meaning y_p = 2. The general solution is y(x) = y_p + y_h = 2 + C * e^(-3x).
8What is the solution to the initial value problem y'' + 9y = 0 with y(0) = 4 and y'(0) = 6?
A.y(x) = 4*cos(3x) + 2*sin(3x)
B.y(x) = 4*cos(3x) + 6*sin(3x)
C.y(x) = 2*cos(3x) + 4*sin(3x)
D.y(x) = 4*cos(9x) + 2*sin(9x)
Explanation: The characteristic equation r^2 + 9 = 0 gives r = +/- 3i. The general solution is y(x) = A*cos(3x) + B*sin(3x). Applying y(0) = 4 yields A = 4. The derivative is y'(x) = -3A*sin(3x) + 3B*cos(3x), and y'(0) = 3B = 6 implies B = 2. Thus, y(x) = 4*cos(3x) + 2*sin(3x).
9What is the limit of (1 - cos(2x)) / x^2 as x approaches 0?
A.1
B.1/2
C.4
D.2
Explanation: Using Taylor series expansion around 0, cos(2x) = 1 - (2x)^2 / 2! + O(x^4) = 1 - 2x^2 + O(x^4). Therefore, 1 - cos(2x) = 2x^2 - O(x^4). Dividing by x^2 yields lim_{x->0} (2x^2)/x^2 = 2. Alternatively, applying l'Hôpital's rule twice produces the same result.
10For what values of the real parameter p does the numerical Riemann series sum_{n=1}^infinity 1 / n^(2p - 1) converge?
A.p > 1
B.p > 1/2
C.p > 2
D.p >= 1
Explanation: The Riemann series sum 1/n^alpha converges if and only if alpha > 1. Here, alpha = 2p - 1. Setting 2p - 1 > 1 gives 2p > 2, which simplifies to p > 1.

About the EAMAC Concours Ingénieur Exam

EAMAC Concours Ingénieur: Suggested Study Strategy

1Work through EAMAC's past Ingénieur papers (annales) under timed 4-hour conditions; the 2024 papers set series, eigenvalue and stable-subspace problems, electrostatics, adiabatic gas expansions, Maxwell's equations and a heat pump.
2Prioritise mathematics and physics (coefficient 5 each) and avoid any mark below 7/20 in either, which is eliminatory.
3Do not skip the algebra chapters of the programme: groups, rings, polynomials, rational fractions and the reduction of endomorphisms.
4For French, practise explaining expressions in context and building argued answers to a question on a text.
5For English, practise the official paper parts: five comprehension questions, 20 grammar items, translation into English and French, and a 200-word essay.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the EAMAC Ingénieur concours a multiple-choice exam?

No. The four papers are written: mathematics and physics exercises, a French text-analysis paper with an argued answer, and an English paper with comprehension, 20 grammar items, translation both ways and a short essay. This bank is an independent English-language MCQ study adaptation. It helps you revise concepts and calculations, but it is not an official translation and does not reproduce the written format.

Which papers carry the most weight?

In the 2026 notice, mathematics and physics each carry coefficient 5 (4 hours each), French coefficient 3 (4 hours) and English coefficient 2 (2 hours). A mark below 7/20 in mathematics or physics, or below 5/20 in French or English, eliminates the candidate.

Who can apply for the Ingénieur cycle?

Students who have validated the second year of a scientific (DEUG, DUES, L2, CPGE) or technical (BTS, DUT, DTS) programme with strong mathematics and physics, and who are under 27 on 1 January 2026. ASECNA agents and civil aviation or meteorology professionals may apply up to age 45, also with the EAMAC Technicien Supérieur diploma. A candidate cannot apply in the same year for both the concours and admission on qualifications (admission sur titre).

In which countries was the Ingénieur cycle open in 2026?

EAMAC's 2026 table of open cycles lists the Ingénieur cycle as open in Benin, Burkina Faso, the Central African Republic, Comoros, Côte d'Ivoire, Mauritania, Niger, Rwanda and Senegal. Registration ran online from 9 to 27 March 2026, and shortlisted candidates lodged their file with their civil aviation authority from 9 to 30 April 2026.
