Intended learning outcomes

Gain familiarity with mathematical concepts, reasoning and relationships in multivariable calculus and linear differential equations in one variable, and gain the calculation and problem solving skills needed for further studies. After completing this course you should be able to

  • cite and explain the definitions of the course's key concepts, such as topological fundamental concepts, functions, limits, continuity, partial derivatives, multiple integrals, functional determinants etc..
  • handle differential equations (first order linear, separable and higher order linear equations with constant coefficients).
  • quote, explain and use the course central theorems, such as the chain rule, change of variables in multiple integrals, the relationship between gradients and directional derivatives, theorems concerning multiple integral properties etc..
  • solving some partial differential equations using the chain rule.
  • verify that results are correct or reasonable.
  • calculate the directional derivatives and tangent-, normal- and tangent plane equations and explain and use the concepts geometrical significance in problem solving.
  • compute multiple integrals using repeated integration, change of variables (e.g. polar, spherical and linear).

Regulations (apply to LiU in its entirety)

The university is a government agency whose operations are regulated by legislation and ordinances, which include the Higher Education Act and the Higher Education Ordinance. In addition to legislation and ordinances, operations are subject to several policy documents. The Linköping University rule book collects currently valid decisions of a regulatory nature taken by the university board, the vice-chancellor and faculty/department boards.

LiU’s rule book for education at first-cycle and second-cycle levels is available at http://styrdokument.liu.se/Regelsamling/Innehall/Utbildning_pa_grund-_och_avancerad_niva.
