Course detail

Mathematical Analysis II

FSI-SA2Acad. year: 2025/2026

The course Mathematical Analysis II is directly linked to the introductory course Mathematical Analysis I. It concerns differential and integral calculus of functions in several real variables. Students will acquire a theoretical background that is necessary in solving some particular problems in mathematics as well as in technical disciplines.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Course-unit credit: active attendance at the seminars, successful passing through two written tests (i.e. receiving at least one half of all possible points from each of them).

Exam: will be oral based (possibly will have also a written part). Students are supposed to discuss three selected topics from the lessons. 


Seminars: obligatory.
Lectures: recommended.

Aims

Students should get familiar with basics of differential and integral calculus in several real variables. With such knowledge, various tasks of physical and engineering problems can be solved.
Application of several variable calculus methods in physical and technical problems.

Study aids
