Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will be familiarized with integral calculus of functions of more variables, path and surface integrals. They will be able to apply this knowledge in various engineering problems. They will master solving of problems of expansions of functions into power and Fourier series. Students will acquire knowledge of basic types of differential equations (DEs). They will be enlightened on DEs as mathematical models. They will acquire skills for analytical and numerical solving of problems involving DEs, as well as for qualitative analysis of DEs. After completing the course students will be equipped with knowledge that are needed for the study of physics, mechanics, and other technical disciplines.

Prerequisites

Linear algebra, differential calculus of functions of one and several variables, integral calculus of functions of one variable, sequences and series of real numbers, fundamentals of function series, first order ordinary differential equations.

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: Project consisting of assigned problems. Active participation in seminars (unless the student attends the course in the form of consultations).

Examination: The exam has written and oral part. The examination tests the knowledge of definitions and theorems (especially the ability of their application to the given problems) and practical skills in solving particular problems. The final grade reflects the results of the written and oral part of the exam.

Aims

The goal of the course is to acquaint the students with the basics of multiple, curve, and surface integrals, Taylor and Fourier series. The course also aims to explaining basic notions and methods of solving ordinary differential equations. The task is to show that knowledge of the theory of integrals, series, and differential equations can be utilized especially in physics and technical branches.

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

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