ENGINEERING MATHEMATICS

Learning Outcome

After the successful participation in the course Engineering Mathematics the students are able to:

  • understand functions and their differentiation and integration
  • describe systems based on linear and non-linear operators (deterministic and stochastic)
  • analyse system design and simulation using numerical methods.

Content

  • Fundamentals of linear algebra, basics in probability and statistics
  • Functions and its differentiation and integration
  • Functions of more than one variable
  • System description based on linear / non-linear operators (deterministic and stochastic)
  • System design and simulation using numerical methods
  • Calculus:
    • single variable calculus (differentiation, integration)
    • multi-variable calculus (partial differentiation, multiple integration)
