KurzbeschreibungIn this course we will give a brief review of more dimensional calculus. The main focus of the course is vector analysis (integral theorems) and PDEs.
LernzielStudents understand mathematics as a language for modelling and as a tool for solving practical engineering problems. They can analyse models, describe solutions qualitatively or calculate
them explicitly if need be. They can solve examples as well as their practical applications manually and using computer algebra systems.
