Linear Algebra, power series, Taylor series, Fourier series, functions of multiple variables. Mathematical software (Python).
Learning outcome
The student should:
- know basic concepts of elementary linear algebra; be able to handle systems of linear equations and solve eigenvalue problems;
- be able to analyse convergence/divergence of series; find the Taylor and Fourier series of a given simple function;
- have basic knowledge of multi-variable calculus.
- know how to use the computer software program Python to solve elementary problems in one- and multi-variable calculus.
