Teaching Period
First Period
Course Type
Supplementary
Prerequisites. Prerequisites:

Basic calculus notions, integrals and differential calculus in several variables. Basic notions of linear algebra: matrices, rank, kernel, range, determinants, eigenvalues and eigenvectors.

Basic notions on complex numbers. Fourier series and Laplace transform. Basic notions of physics: fundamental lows of mechanics, fluid dynamics, heat transfer, electromagnetism, electrical circuits. Notions of probability. Basics of software implementation.

Mandatory prerequisites: none.

Teaching Methods. – Class lectures

– Class exercises

– Virtual visit to the laboratory

Verification of Learning. To check the learning of the students and the acquired ability during the course the following tests are planned:

– three intermediate tests (4 hours each)

– in case of failure of the test or upon request of the students a written exam with

three questions: two exercises and a question about theory

– an oral exam with up to three questions

More Information. The students will be welcome to attend 12 (non–mandatory) additional hours of exercises.
