Course content
Basis module. Functions of several variables. Partial differentiation, gradient. Critical points and optimization. Taylor’s theorem with remainder. Introduction to partial differential equations: examples and solutions.
Partial differential equations. Different types required different approaches, focus on physical/modeling intuition. Overview of the field. Steady state equations. Examples: Laplace’s and Poisson’s equation. Solution by computer using linear algebra. Iterative numerical solutions converging to a steady state. Time-dependent systems. Examples: Heat equation, advection equation, wave equation. Solution by computer.
Programme module. Trigonometric series and Fourier series. Applications to 1D wave equation with separation of variables. Fourier transform. Computation by hand and computer. Applications of Fourier transforms. Spectral analysis (e.g. sound and light waves). Applications to solution of differential equations, including harmonic motion with external periodic forcing.

General competence
The candidate:
- Has good knowledge of, and can apply a symbolic and formulaic mathematical apparatus that is relevant for communication in engineering sciences
- Has experience of evaluation of their own and other students scientific work, and with giving precise and technically correct oral feedback.
- Has experience with applications of mathematical methods and digital tools to problems with their own and related specializations.
- Can connect mathematical concepts and techniques to models the candidate meets within and outside of their studies.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures, exercises and group work.
Compulsory assignments
The compulsory assignments consist of two parts:
- Compulsory exercises that are based on both analytical and numerical solution of problems and interpretation of the results. The assignments include tasks to be solved with the help of digital tools.
- Compulsory group work
Special conditions
Obligatory activities from previous semesters can be accepted by the institute.
Compulsory assignments
- Compulsory assignments (exercises and group work)
Further on evaluation
Emnet har to delvurderinger med bokstavkarakter; prosjektarbeid (i grupper) og individuell eksamen. Begge delvurderingene må bestås for å bestå emnet.
Vurderingsgrunnlaget til prosjektarbeidet er en prosjektrapport som leveres ved semesterslutt. Innleveringen er gruppevis. Veiledning består av forelesninger, videoer og notater som dekker tema for prosjektet. I tillegg er det gruppevis veiledning i forbindelse med fagets øvingstimer.
Specific conditions
Admission to a programme of study is required:
Aquaculture - Engineering (BIHAV)
Chemistry - Engineering (FTHINGKJ)
