Course objectives
This is the third part of a four semester block of Mathematics. The entire course covers the fundamentals of general algebra and number theory, linear algebra, mathematical analysis, numerical methods, and combinatorics. This semester is concerned with Calculus in more variables and (ordinary) differential equations and, in the second half, graph theory including selected applications.
Learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students should be able to:
use methods of calculus in the case of functions in more variables, including integration over curves and surfaces; solve basic optimization problems; exploit differential equations in continuous modeling;
understand basic concepts of the graph theory and apply basic graph algorithms; manage simple usage of generating functions in combinatorial computations
Syllabus
  • Calculus in more variables (5 weeks)- partial derivatives, differential, integral calculus in more variables, selected applications of Calculus
  • Ordinary differential equations (3 weeks) - scalar and vector differential equations, numerical solutions.
  • Graph theory (5 weeks) - elementary concepts; selected graph algorithms; generating functions
