Learning outcomes

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :

1 At the end of the course the students will be able to 
  • Express metric notions in Rn using the language of general topology.
  •  Study limits, continuity, directional derivatives and differentiability for functions of several variables.
  • Apply Taylor polynomial in order to approximate a function.
  • Locate and identify free extrema of a function; locate extrema under constraints of a function using the technique of Lagrange multipliers.
  • Calculating multiple integrals possibly using a change of variables.
  • Calculate line integrals, surface integrals, the flow of a vector field along a curve and the flow of a vector field through a surface possibly using Stokes type theorems.
  • Apply the resolving method for linear differential equations with constant coefficients of order n.
  • Analyse and write rigorously statements and demonstrations on the mathematical content specified below, and illustrate them with examples and counter-examples.
  • Use the math content above to model and solve simple problems.
    The course contributes to developing the AAs of the program: to be completed (AA 1.1, 1.2, maybe 2.3, 2.6, 2.7, 3.2, 4.1)
 
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.
