Course detail

Mathematics III-B

FSI-CM-KAcad. year: 2014/2015

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

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.

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. Fulfilment of all conditions of the running control of knowledge. At least half of all possible 30 points in both check tests. If a student does not fulfil this condition, the teacher can set an alternative one.


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);

Examination (evaluation): The final grade reflects the result of the written part of the exam (maximum 70 points) and the results achieved in seminars (maximum 30 points); 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.
