Mathematics 2 for mechanical and civil engineering
Study plans 2016-2017 - REA2071F - 10 ECTS

On the basis of

REA1141 Mathematics 1

Expected learning outcomes

The students will learn mathematical tools and methods for engineering problem solving, and acquire a foundation for further study in mathematics and engineering. The course emphasizes modeling and applications.

Knowledge

  • Understand the  relevance of mathematics in engineering problem solving
  • Able to identify applications of mathematics in engineering subjects
  • Know the possibilities and limitations of mathematical software

The course gives in-depth knowledge in the areas of linear algebra with selected applications, power series and extreme value problems, with:

Skills

  • able to understand and use mathematical language.
  • able to use mathematical methods and software to solve problems.
  • able to judge accuracy of numerical results.
  • basic mathematical reasoning
  • able to do simple mathematical modeling

The skills are developed by applications to the knowledge areas.
