Mathematics 2 for Y-vei EY4007

Prerequisites

Mathematics I.

Course Objectives

Students will:

• Be able to carry out calculations using complex numbers.
• Be able to solve simple linear-algebraic problems related to equation systems and eigenvalues/eigenvectors.
• Be able to use linear-algebraic methods to solve applied problems, particularly in the electrical field.

Course Description

• Calculation with complex numbers in Cartesian, trigonometric and exponential forms
• Equations with complex solutions
• Linear equation systems with applications
• Matrix algebra
• Vector spaces
• Eigenvalues and eigenvectors with applications

Learning Methods

Lectures, group assignments and written exercises. The computer programme Maple is included.

Assessment Methods

The final grade in the subject will be weighted as follows:

· Individual written mid-term examination (40%)
· Individual written final examination (60%)

In order to pass the course, the cumulative grade calculated according to this system must be equivalent to an E or higher.
