Learning outcomes of the course unit

The knowledge of the solution of simple tasks, particularly those of the physical character. Managing of the both of the mathematical courses should enable reading and comprehension the mathematical symbolics used in the literature extending the knowlege in the studied branch.

Prerequisites

Differential and integral calculus of functions of one variable, elements of the linear algebra and analytical geometry.
Elements of the differential calculus of functions of more variables given explicitely. First order ordinary differential equation, the existence and uniqueness theorem of its solution with respect to the initial condition. The solution of the most simple kinds of such equations, particularly those with separated variables and the linear ones.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

For an active participation in practices, a credit is given. It is a necessary condition for making the examination.
The examination consists of test ond oral parts. The participation on lectures is not compulsory.

Course curriculum

1. Implicitely given functions.
2. Higher-order linear differential equations with constant coefficients.
3. Double and triple integrals, applications.
4. Scalar and vector fields, Hamilton operator.
5. Curve and surface integrals in scalar and vector fields, applications.
6. Stokes and Gauss-Ostrogradski theorem, applications.
7. Infinite series - numeric and functional (power and Taylor series).

Work placements

Not applicable.

Aims

The aim of the course is forming the theoretical background necessary for studies of physics, particularly elementary kinds of differential equations, elements of the theory of fields, Hamilton operator and integral theorems.

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

Necessary conditions for obtaining a credit are the regular participation on practies and reaching at least 50% of marks from control works. In addition to calculus skills, the control works also check the ability of their applications to simple problems. Moreover, there is a semestral work consisting of 20 computative examples. Finally, students are claimed to perform a short presentation on a given topic with accent to physical and chemical applications. If a student fails at a control work, he has a possibility of its correction. If there are serious reasons, some claim can be replaced by an alternative one.
