Flerdimensionell analys med vektoranalys
Calculus in Several Variables

FMAB35, 7,5 credits, G1 (First Cycle)

Valid for: 2023/24
Faculty: Faculty of Engineering, LTH
Decided by: PLED F/Pi
Date of Decision: 2023-04-18

General Information

Main field: Technology.
Compulsory for: F1, Pi1
Language of instruction: The course will be given in Swedish

Aim

The course aims at giving a basic treatment of calculus in several variables, including three-dimensional vector analysis. Particular emphasis is put on the role which calculus in several variables plays in applications in different subjects of technology, in order to give the future engineer a good foundation for further studies in mathematics as well as other subjects. The aim is furthermore to develop the student's ability in problem solving and to assimilate mathematical text.

Examination details

Grading scale: TH - (U,3,4,5) - (Fail, Three, Four, Five)
Assessment: In the first subcourse a written test comprising theory and problem solving. In the second subcourse, a written test. The final grade is based on the results on the exams on the subcourses - the scores on the second parts of the exams are added. Computer work.

The examiner, in consultation with Disability Support Services, may deviate from the regular form of examination in order to provide a permanently disabled student with a form of examination equivalent to that of a student without a disability.
