Course Description

This advanced mathematics course offers a wide range of concepts and topics in engineering mathematics, that are essential for understanding the further content of the master's programs in Systems Design or in Industrial Power Electronics. This includes topics in advanced linear algebra, vector calculus, systems of differential equations as well as partial differential equations. 

The course is organized in such a way that it is held as an in-class course for students in the master's program in Systems Design, and as an online-course for students in the master’s program in Industrial Power Electronics. It provides materials for the theoretical content as well as calculation examples done in the lecture or as homework. The exam can be taken at CUAS at the end of the first semester.

Learning Objectives

After finishing the course, students are able to

• Solve systems of differential equations.
• Understand the most important partial differential equations in physics and engineering.
• Describe the results in a physical context by using the PDE-Matlab toolbox or other appropriate numerical tools.
• Apply advanced methods of linear algebra and vector calculus for modelling physical and technical systems. 
• Discuss the solutions of these advanced methods and analyze the resulting data.
