Course detail

Selected Lectures on Mathematics

FEKT-MPA-SLMAcad. year: 2022/2023

The proposed course is a compulsory basic theoretical course profiling the basis, which focuses on the use of selected mathematical methods in the field of space technology. It provides not only a theoretical apparatus for the design and implementation of space applications, but also their practical verification in simulations. The Matlab programming environment will be used for this purpose.

Language of instruction

English

Number of ECTS credits

5

Mode of study

Learning outcomes of the course unit

After completing the course, students should be able to independently solve problems associated with mathematical modeling, verification and testing of designs for space applications.

Prerequisites

Mathematical subjects and knowledge , including the basics of statistics and signal processing, are required.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the way of teaching and are described in Article 7 of the BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.
Teaching methods include lectures and computer exercises. Student develops individual tasks during computer exercises.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The conditions for the successful completion of the course are specified in the annually updated guarantor's order. In general:
- obtaining credit on the basis of a test for 16 points and active participation in exercises for 14 points (max. 30 points, min. 15 points),
- Written parts of the final exam (max 70 points, minimum 35 points)
