Målsætning : To provide the students with basic knowledge in fundamental mathematical tools to solve engineering problems and to construct and analyze mathematical models, as well as to provide a foundation for further studies in modern engineering mathematics. The use of computer software and graphing calculators supports both of these aspects.
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:

• Apply linear algebra to solve engineering problems.
• Use matrices and determinants to solve systems of linear equations.
• Determine partial derivatives, extreme values and gradients.
• Use Lagrange multipliers to solve optimization problems.
• Calculate double and triple integrals.
• Calculate line and surface integrals.
• Use Green’s theorem and Stokes’ theorem in vector fields.
• Use vector analysis to model and solve practical engineering problems.
• Use computer software and graphing calculators for the solution and the graphical illustration of mathematical problems.
• Learn new topics in engineering mathematics through guided assignments.
Hovedindhold : Introduction to linear algebra: Matrices, determinants, systems of linear equations, eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Functions of several variables: Partial derivatives and multiple integrals, extreme values, Lagrange multipliers. Vector analysis: Line integrals, conservative fields, Green’s theorem, surface integrals, Stokes’ theorem. Examples of applications in the engineering sciences.
Undervisningsform : The pedagogy of the course is "problem-based learning".There will be introductory and summing up lectures and students will work in small groups with projects, problem solving, computer simulations and case studies.
Krævede forudsætninger : M-MAT1 or equivalent.
Anbefalede forudsætninger : -
Relationer : ME-MAT1 and ME-MAT3. The course is otherwise fundamental to the whole study program in mechanical engineering.
Prøveform : Skriftlig 4-timers prøve
Censur : Ekstern
Bedømmelse : 7-trinsskala
Bemærkninger : This course is an integrated part of the study program “Engineering Design & Industrial Innovation” offered by the Department of Mechanical Engineering. It is, however, a general methodological course aimed at all engineering students, regardless of specialization.
