Description /
Content

The module consists of a lecture with tutorials that deals with the following topics:

  1. Differential and integrale calculus in Rn
    • Theorem of dissolution (inverse functions, coordinate transformation)
    • Manifolds
    • Extremum problems (Lagrangian multiplicators)
    • differential forms and vector analysis
    • differential equations (introduction)
    • parameter depending integrals(e.g. Fourier integrals)
    • Integration on manifolds (curves, surfaces)
    • Integrale theorems
  2. Linear spaces and linear transformations
    • Theory of eigenvalue (major axes, normal forms)
Obligatory literatureStandard literature of analysis and linear algebra for elementary students of physics. Recent literature is announced at the beginning of lecture.
Additional literatureIs announced at the beginning of lecture.
Organisation und LehrformenTutorials are set parallel to the lecture in which written homeworks are placed that have to be done successfully, averaged over the semester. A test takes place containing the topics of lecture and tutorials.
Course assessment, assessment modeThis module is a non-compensable obligatory module. The module is passed and credit points are awarded if the test is passed. Regular successful participation in the tutorials (especially regular successful work on exercises) is the admission requirement. At the beginning of the module the docent announces how many of the exercises have to be done successfully. It is necessary to applicate to the test. At the beginning of the following semester a re-examination is offered. Another retry is only possible one year later. A non-passed test can be retried twice, in case of failing the second re-examination the module is considered failed. A re-participation in lecture and tutorials to prepare for a re-examination is possible. The module is not marked and is evaluated with passed/ failed.
Learning/ qualification targetsKnowledge of basic mathematical concepts that are needed for comprehension and solution of physical problems.
