Mathematics 2 for electrical engineering
Study plans 2016-2017 - REA2081 - 10 ECTS

Prerequisite(s)

For "TRES & Y-vei"-students:  Final test in the precourse REA0011 and the folder in REA1141 must be approved. 

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 and power series, 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.

Topic(s)

Systems of linear equations:

  • Matrices
  • Vector spaces
  • Linear transformations
  • Eigensystems and diagonalisation
  • Series, sequences and convergence
  • Taylor and Fourier series
  • Difference equations
  • Fourier-, Laplace- and z-transforms

Form(s) of Assessment (additional text)

Exam counts 60%
The folder counts 40%

Grading scale for the folder is based on three (3) school tests. 
Exam and folder must be approved separately 

Grading Scale

Alphabetical Scale, A(best) – F (fail)

External/internal examiner

Censored internally by course coordinator.
External censor is used periodically (every 3-4 years), next time in 2016.

Re-sit examination

For the written exam there will be a re-examination, but not for the folder.

In case of re-examination, the folder need not be redone if former approved.
If the folder is retaken, the exam need not be redone if former approved.   

Examination support

Aid code C (according to NTNU rules https://innsida.ntnu.no/wiki/-/wiki/Norsk/tillatte+hjelpemidler )

Coursework Requirements

One submission using mathematical software (Maple), must be approved to make the folder valid..
