Course objectives
The discipline is a second part of Mathematics for students of bachelor studies of applied physics and non-physical programs. Its aim is to give students a knowledge and understanding of fundamental concepts of basic mathematical disciplines required for natural sciences and technical disciplines -- mathematical analysis, linear algebra and geometry, probability theory.
Learning outcomes
Absolving the discipline a student obtain following knowledge and skills:
-understanding of the concept of linearity, ability of practical calculus in linear algebra and geometry (calculations with vectors and linear mappings in bases using matrix algebra, solving eigenvalue problem),
-skills in calculations using curvilinear coordinates,
-Solving simple differential equations and systems of differential equations, and their use for applications in physics, geometry, technical disciplines, chemistry, etc.
- understanding of differential calculus of n-variable functions,
-understanding of basic concepts of vector analysis and practical calculations including applications
