Course specific prerequisites
Analysis in one variable, linear algebra.Aim
The aim of the course, together with the other math courses in the program, is to provide a general knowledge in the mathematics and numerical analysis 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)
After completion of this course, the student should be able to- describe the significance and meaning of the fundamental concepts of mathematical analysis in several variables
- describe the relations between the different concepts
- use the concepts to solve mathematical problems

Organisation
The teaching consists of lectures and exercise sessions. More detailed information will be available on the course webpage before the course starts.
Literature
Information is given on the course website before the start of the course.
Examination including compulsory elements
The examination consists of a written or oral exam.
The course examiner may assess individual students in other ways than what is stated above if there are special reasons for doing so, for example if a student has a decision from Chalmers on educational support due to disability.
