About this course
The course consists of two parts:
Linear algebra (common teaching with MATH131): Systems of linear equations, Gauss elimination, inverse matrices, determinants, bases, complex numbers, eigenvalues, eigenvectors
Linear differential equations: First - and second order linear ordinary differential equations, selected numerical methods. Introduction to non-linear differential equations.
Learning outcome
Students are to
- acquire basic ideas and theorems of the theory
- master the standard methods in linear algebra and for the solution of linear differential equations
- be able to use this knowledge and these skills when solving simple applied problems
- The teaching consists of lectures, calculation exercises and weekly practice exercises.
- An assistant teacher is present during all the exercises lessons. The students can either contact the teacher in his office by telephone or by e-mail.
- MATH111, MATH112
- Written examination: 3.5 hours
- The external and internal examiner jointly prepare the exam questions and the correction manual. The external examiner reviews the internal examiner's examination results by correcting a random sample of candidate's exams as a calibration according to the guidelines of the Faculty for examination markings.
