Learning Outcomes
Competences
Students know and understand basic notations, terms and mathematical methods from the fields of linear algebra, sequences and series of functions, in particular power and Fourier series, as well as multidimensional differential and integral calculus of real-valued and vector-valued functions. They are able to apply these concepts and methods to solve mathematical and technical/scientific problems.
