Learning Outcomes |
---|
This course is in 2 parts: * Vector calculus: to revise and acquire calculation tools and methods, in order to confidently navigate through multivariable calculus and its applications. In particular, students will: - (outcome C1) be able to confidently use and apply differential operators for functions of several variables (multivariate chain differentiation, implicit differentiation, etc.) - (outcome C2) be able to perform multidimensional integration and line integration. * Linear Algebra: Acquire a good understanding of matrix algebra and methods. In particular, students will - (outcome LA1) understand the fundamental subspaces related to a matrix (as a linear map) - (outcome LA2) acquire fundamental techniques such as orthogonal projections in R^n or diagonalisation of matrices. |
Content |

- Multivariable calculus: ° multivariate calculus (coordinate systems, scalar functions, vector functions, conservative vector fields, differential operators, Taylor expansions for functions from R^n to R^p, Implicit function theorem, simple PDE, Local Inverse Theorem) ° multiple and line integral (substitutions, volume integrals, area integrals, curvilinear integrals, Green-Riemann Theorem) - Linear algebra ° Introduction to linear spaces/subspaces in R^n, bases. ° Fundamental subspaces of a matrix - Rank Nullity theorem. ° Orthogonality ° Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors |
Pre-requisites / co-requisites |
