Course objectives (in Czech)
Předmět je zaměřen na získání přehledu o základních matematických postupech používaných ve fyzikálních teoriích, především z oblasti matematické analýzy (diferenciální a integrální počet funkcí více proměnných, vektorová analýza, plošný integrál, integrální věty, diferenciální rovnice). Důraz je kladen na pochopení základních pojmů, výpočetní praxi a fyzikální aplikace.
Syllabus
  • 1. Surfaces in threedimansional euclidean space: parametrizations, cartesian equations. 2. Quadratic surfaces, classification, physical applications. 3. Surface integral of the first type, physical characteristics of bodies (mass, center of mass, tensor of inertia). 4. Surface integral of the secnond type, physical applications (flow of a vector field). 5. Calculus of surface integrals. 6. Integral theorems. 7. Physical applications of integrals and integral theorems: Integral and differential form of Maxwell equations. 8. Applications of integral theorems in fluid mechanics. 9. Series of functions: Taylor series, physical applications (estimations). 10. Series of functions: Fourier series, applications (Fourier analysis of a signal). 11. Integral transforms (fundamental properties), Laplace and Fourier transforms, applications (solving differential equations). 12. Some aspects of solving differential equations. 13. Reserved time.
