Applied Mathematics
7.5 ECTS creditsThe course covers the following:
- Vectors, matrices, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, tensors, some basic properties and applications (in elasticity).
- Linear ordinary differential equations of higher order, linear eigenvalue problems, eigenfunctions, systems of linear ordinary differential equations.
- Functions of several variables, partial derivatives, directional derivative, gradient, Hessian matrix, and minimisation/maximisation of functions, double integrals, and some simple partial differential equations.
- Descriptive statistics, measures of central tendency, and measures of dispersion.
- Basic probability theory.
- Some discrete and some continuous distributions, e.g., the normal distribution.
- Expectation value, variance, standard deviation.
- Point estimates and confidence intervals.
