Mathematics II

FSI-2M-KAcad. year: 2015/2016

Differential and integral calculus of functions of several variables including problems of finding maxima and minima and calculating limits, derivatives, differentials, double and triple integrals. Also dealt are the line and surface integrals both in a scalar and a vector field. At seminars, the MAPLE mathematical software is used.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will be made familiar with differential and integral calculus of more variables. They will be able to apply this knowledge in various engineering tasks. After completing the course students will be prepared for further study of physics, mechanics and other technical disciplines.

Prerequisites

Linear algebra, differential and integral calculus of functions of one variable.

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 REQUIREMENTS: There are two written tests (each at most 12 points) within the seminars and a semestral work from the computer support (at most 1 point).
The student can obtain at most 25 points alltogether within the seminars. Condition for the course-unit credit: to obtain at least 6 points from each written test. Students, who do not fulfil conditions for the course-unit credit, can repeat the written test during first two weeks of examination time.


FORM OF EXAMINATIONS:
The exam has an obligatory written part.
In a 120-minute written test, students have to solve the following four problems:
Problem 1: In basic properties of functions of several variables: domains, partial derivatives, gradient (at most 10 points)
Problem 2: In differential calculus of functions of several variables (at most 20 points)
Problem 3: In double and tripple integral (at most 20 points)
Problem 4: In line and surface integral (at most 20 points)
Above problems can also contain a theoretical question.

RULES FOR CLASSIFICATION
1. Results from seminars (at most 25 points)
2. Results from the written examination (at most 75 points)

Final classification:
0-49 points: F
50-59 points: E
60-69 points: D
70-79 points: C
80-89 points: B
90-100 points: A

Aims

The course aims to acquaint the students with the basics of differential and integral calculus of functions of several variables. This will enable them to attend engineering courses and deal with engineering problems. Another goal of the course is to develop the students' logical thinking.

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

Attendance at lectures is recommended, attendance at seminars is required. The lessons are planned on the basis of a weekly schedule. The way of compensation for an absence is fully at the discretion of the teacher.
