Content
- Linear constant-coefficient ordinary differential equations of any order, Cauchy problem
- Scalar and vector-valued real functions of several variables, topology, continuity
- Differentiability, partial and directional derivatives, chain rule, tangent plane, gradient and Jacobian matrix
- Higher order partial derivatives and Taylor polynomial
- Unconstrained and constrained extrema, Lagrange multipliers
- Multiple integrals and changes of variables
- Line and surface integrals, circulation and flux of a vector field
- Notion of boundary and Stokes-type theorems
Teaching methods
Lectures in a large auditorium, supervised exercise (APE) and problem (APP) sessions in small groups, possibly online exercises.
Evaluation methods
Students are assessed individually with a written exam organized during the session, based on the learning outcomes listed above.
