Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is offered to students of any study field.
Course objectives
The aim of the course is the repetition and practical training in mathemtaics needed for theoretical physics, study, especially algebra of vector spaces, linear mappings and tensor spaces, as well as integration of functions and differential forms. Students obtain:
* deeper understanding of mathematical tools for theoretical physics;
* good review concerning the connection of mathematical tools to problems in physic;
* calculation practice.
