Learning outcomes of the course unit

1. Students will be endowed with the elementary knowledge on infinite series and they will be able to apply them computing integrals and differential equations which are not solvable by elementary methods. The knowledge can be also applied in possiible future studies of numerical analysis.
2. Applying the knowledge of the previous topic, students make acquaintance with the foundations of the theory of functions of complex variable and follow some principle differences in contrary to the functions of real variable. Students will obtain skills on elementary functions, followd the concept of a holomorphis function and manage the computation of curve integrals and primitive functions.
3. Students make aquaintance with both of the continous and discrete least square methods. They will be able to to apply those methods in the numerical approximation and by the evaluation of measurmaents. Students will follow its significance for the construction of Fourier trigonometric polynomials and Fourier series.
4. Students manage Fourier series, obtains computational skills on them and will be apply them in the modelling of periodical processes.
5. Students manage the concept of Fourier transform (including the discrete and fast ones) theoretically and computationally. They follows the concept of Dirac distribution. They will follow the meaning of Fourier transform in the theory of signals and in the spectroscopy.
6. Students will manage the concept of a tensor and a tensor field including the basic operations on them. They will make aquaintance of tensor calculus in material sciences and physics.
