Objectives and competences

Students learn advanced topics in Mathematical Analysis: multiple integrals, Fourier series, ordinary DE, vector analysis, calculus of variations. Mathematics III
is a basic course for physicists.

Intended learning outcomes

Knowledge and understanding:
We expect that students know important definitions and theorems, understand (and ideally be able to replicate) at least the easier proofs, and be able to apply this knowledge , e.g. in Mathematical Physics.

Application:
This course is a prerequiste for Mathematics IV, Numerical methods, Mathematical physics, Mechanics and other courses.

Reflection:
Students master some advanced topics in Mathematical Analysis and are able to apply them in physics.

Transferable skills:
Students learn to understand the usefulness of the abstract approach, are able to connect the acquired knowledge with what they already mastered. They also learn to use other written sources and the internet. They are able to identify and solve problems, hand in homework on time, and memorize the important topics.

Learning and teaching methods

Lectures, tutorials, homework (optional).

Assessment

Written exam or 2 midterm exams instead of the written exam
Oral exam or theoretical test, homework
grading: 5 (fail), 6-10 (pass) (according to the Statute of UL)
