Course detail

Mathematics III-B

FSI-CMAcad. year: 2011/2012

The course is intended as an introduction to basic methods applied for solving of ordinary differential equations and problems of mathematical statistics.
The knowledge of the basic theory of differential equations and methods of solving is an important foundation for further study of physical and technical disciplines, especially those connected with mechanics.
Statistical methods are concentrated on descriptive statistics, random events, probability, random variables and vectors, random sample, parameters estimation and tests of hypotheses. The practicals cover problems and applications in mechanical engineering.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students obtain necessary knowledge of ordinary differential equations and mathematical statistics, which enables them to understand and apply deterministic and stochastic models of technical phenomenon based on these methods.

Prerequisites

Foundations of differential and integral calculus.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Course-unit credit is awarded on the following conditions: active attendance at seminars, understanding of the subject-matter.
Examination (written form): practical part (2 examples from ordinary differential equations; 2 examples from mathematical statistics) with own summary of formulas; theoretical part (4 questions concerning basic terms, their properties, sense and practical use); evaluation: student may achieve 0-20 point for each example and 0-5 point for each theoretical question; classification according to the total sum of points achieved: excellent (90 - 100 points), very good (80 - 89 points), good (70 - 79 points), satisfactory (60 - 69 points), sufficient (50 - 59 points), failed (0 - 49 points).

Aims

The aim is to acquaint students with basic terms and methods of solving of ordinary differential equations and mathematical statistics. Another goal of the course is to form the student's thinking in modelling of real phenomenon and processes in engineering fields.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Attendance at lectures is recommended, attendance at seminars is checked. Lessons are planned according to the week schedules. Absence from seminars may be compensated for by the agreement with the teacher.
