Learning Outcomes
Competences
After successfully completing the course, students are able to explain fundamental concepts from the listed topics related to the analysis of multiple variables. They can apply their knowledge to systematically solve more advanced mathematical problems. Furthermore, they are able to use problem-solving techniques for concrete examples.

This exercise is methodically complemented by the lecture Mathematik für Physik III (Analysis mehrerer Veränderlicher).

Skills Knowledge
Upon completing the course, students learn the following skills. They are able to

  • explain mathematical problems and concepts as well as mathematical proof processes (k2);
  • independently develop mathematical solutions and proofs of mathematical problems in the field of analysis of many variables (k3);
  • apply concepts and problem-solving strategies to new and unfamiliar questions, selecting and using appropriate mathematical methods (k3/k4);
  • present their solutions to the group and discuss different approaches (k3/k4).
During the course, students acquire knowledge in the analysis of several variables:

  • multidimensional differentiation (partial derivative, Fréchet derivative), Taylor formula;
  • multidimensional Riemann integral;
  • volumes, scalar integration over curves and surfaces;
  • integration of 1- and 2-forms over curves and surfaces;
  • exterior derivative (gradient, curl, divergence);
  • Green’s theorem, Stokes’ theorem, and Gauss’ theorem;
  • differentiation and integration of complex functions, Cauchy's integral theorem and integral formula, residue theorem.
