Mathematics 2 for Building BY4107

Prerequisites

Mathematics 1

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 electricity.

Course Description

• 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 will be used in mathematics.

Assessment Methods

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

· Individual written mid-term examination (20%)
· Maple project (20%)
· Individual written final examination (60%)

In order to earn a passing grade for the course, the following two requirements must be satisfied:

· The cumulative grade, calculated according to this system, must be equivalent to an E or higher.
· At least one of the two examinations (mid-term and final) must receive an E grade or better.
