Course content

Numerical methods in all themes if relevant. Complex number, eigenvalues, diagonalization with applications: Systems og differential- and differenceequations, quadratic forms. Partial differential equations: One dimentional heat- , wave- and Laplace equation. Method of least squares with applications. Powerseries, taylorseries. Taylor polynomials in 2 variables. Function of two and more variables, partial differentiation, extrema value problems.

Learning outcome

The candidate should demonstrate knowledge of the following:

  • Complex numbers; polar form and Euler's formula
  • Computation of characteristic polynomials, eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a square matrix
  • Convergence of series, particularly geometric series
  • Power series, including Taylor's theorem with remainder and Taylor series of well-known functions. Integration and derivation of power series.
  • Functions of several variables. Partial and total derivatives. Linearization around a stationary point and its applications.
  • Simple modelling, and ability to solve and interpret the resulting problems where relevant to the course content.
  • Diagonalization of matrices. Computing matrix powers. Solution of differential- and difference- equations and classification of two variable quadratic forms and conic sections.
  • Partial differential equations. Modelling and interpretation of results. Understanding initial and boundary conditions.
  • Linear least squares problems: interpretation and solution by normal equations.

The candidate should acquire and display the following skills:

  • Use of computational devices for numerical calculations and graphical representations in topics relevant to the course.
  • Basic computations with complex numbers
  • Calculation and manipulations of series
  • Partial derivation and application in classification of local extrema of a function of two variables.
  • Use of numerical and symbolic computational methods for the solution of linear algebra problems such as diagonalization of matrices and linear least squares problems.
  • Solve simple partial differential equations such as 1-dimensional heat and wave equations numerically and symbolically.
  • Applications of linear least squares problems to overdetermined systems and linear regression General competence:
  • Use of mathematics to model and solve theoretical and practical problems in situations relevant to their own field, in academic and professional contexts.
  • Use of computational tools to visualize and solve mathematical problems.
