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 the reasoning and problem-solving methods of mathematics, and transfer them to specific physical problems.

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

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

  • understand and explain basic concepts of the analysis of many variables (k1/k2);
  • understand and apply mathematical methods and techniques in a precise and analytical way (k3);
  • apply the principles of the analysis of many variables and transfer them to the context of physical problems (k3).
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.
