Eligibility:
In order to be eligible for a first cycle course the applicant needs to fulfil the general and specific entry requirements of the programme(s) that has the course included in the study programme.
Course specific prerequisites
Calculus in one variable, linear algebra and programming in Matlab.
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)
- account for meaning of the concepts of calculus in several variables.
- account for the relations between these concepts and to use them in problem solving.
- implement the Newton method and the method of gradients in MATLAB functions.
- solve optimization problems with constraints.
- account for the basic ideas of the finite element method.
- use the finite element method in MATLAB.
- use MATLAB for solving problems.
Content

Examination
More detailed information of the examination will be given on the course web page before start of the course.
Examples of assessments are:
-selected exercises are to be presented to the teacher orally or in writing during the course,
-other documentation of how the student's knowledge develops,
-project work, individually or in group,
-written or oral exam during and/or at the end of the course.
-problems/exercises are to be solved with a computer and presented in writing and/or at the computer.
