Course specific prerequisites

Knowledge equivalent to the content in the course Single variable calculus and analytical geometry.

Aim

The purpose of the course is to, together with the other math courses in the program, provide a general knowledge in the mathematics required in further studies as well as in the future professional career.

Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)

  • define the concept integral and account for its relation to differentiation
  • apply and explain both analytical and numerical methods for calculating integrals
  • explain the meaning of an ordinary differential equation and its directional field
  • apply and explain analytical and numerical methods for solving ordinary differential equations
  • account for the concepts of linear algebra given in this course.
  • account for the connections between the different concepts and use these connections in problem solving
  • use the software MATLAB in problem solving

Content

  • Linear transformations, matrix representation
  • Matrix algebra, matrix inverse and systems of linear equations
  • The Euclidean vector space Rn, linear independence, subspaces of Rn, null space (kernel), column space (range), bases, change of basis, dimension, rank
  • Eigenvalues, real and complex, eigenvectors, diagonalization
  • Orthogonal projection, orthonormal basis, method of least squares, the spectral theorem
  • Determinants
  • Antiderivatives
  • Riemann Sums and the definite integral, techniques of integration, integrals of rational functions and some other functions
  • Improper integrals
  • Application of integration: volumes by slicing, solids by revolution, arclengt and surface area
  • Complex numbers, the fundamental theorem of algebra
  • Ordinary differential equations: First-order equation in general, analytical solution of separable and linear equations. Second-order linear equations with constant coefficients, the equations of simple and damped harmonic motion
  • Systems of first order linear differential equations with constant coefficients.
