Mathematics 2 for electrical engineering
Study plans 2016-2017 - REA2081F - 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 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.
