Bachelor's programme Biological Chemistry 2019W |
| Objectives |
This course provides the practical application and training for the students concerning the material, formulae and techniques presented in the lecture course Mathematics I. The students are given well-explained sample exercises and a range of exercises to go through to develop their mathematical skills.
|
| Subject |
The following mathematical topics are covered, these are the same topics as those of the corresponding lecture course:
Vectors: Basic definition of two, three and N-dimensional vectors, components of and algebraic calculations with vectors, coordinate systems, bases and linear independence of vectors, sscalar product and cross product of vectors, projection and orthogonality of vectors.
Functions: Definition, representations and examples of functions; symmetry, invertability and composition of functions; fundamental functions (polynomials, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric functions etc) and their qualitative properties; sequences and series and limits of sequences and series; limits and continuity of functions; differentiation, extreme values of functions, convexity/concavity of functions, full analysis of qualitative properties of functions.
