Entry requirements
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
Prerequisites
Courses in calculus and linear algebra.Intended learning outcomes
The course deals with vector functions and vector fields, and gives the mathematical theory of potentials and flows which are at the basis of, amongst other areas, theoretical electrotechnology and fluid mechanics. After the course one can
- find potentials for a vector field
- calculate path and flux integrals, with and without the use of integral theorems
- use spherical and cylindrical coordinates in calculations
Course content
Vector functions and vector fields. Spherical and cylindrical coordinate systems. The concepts of potential, gradient, divergence and curl. Integral theorems: Gauss', Stokes' and Green's theorems.
Teaching and working methods
Teaching is done in lectures and problem classes.
