Content

Linear Algebra, power series, Taylor series, Fourier series, functions of multiple variables. Mathematical software (Maple).

Learning outcome

The student should:
  • know basic concepts of elementary linear algebra; be able to handle systems of linear equations and solve eigenvalue problems;
  • be able to analyse convergence/divergence of series; find the Taylor and Fourier series of a given simple function;
  • have basic knowledge of multi-variable calculus.
  • know how to use the computer software program MAPLE to solve elementary problems in one- and multi-variable calculus.
