Syllabus
  • 1. Derivation and integral of one variable real function, practising of basic operations.
  • 2. Fundamentals of vector algebra in R-2 and R-3: vectors, vector calculus, scalar and vector product and their geometrical and physical interpretation, calculus in bases.
  • 3. Fundamentals of vector algebra in R-2 a R-3: transformation rules.
  • 4. Ordinary differential equations: separation of variables, first-order linear differential equations, physical applications (nuclear fission, absorption of radiation).
  • 5. Ordinary differential equations: linear equations of the second and higher order with the constant coefficients, physical applications (equations of a particle motion, harmonic oscillator, damped and forces oscillations).
  • 6. Some simple systems of equations of motion.
  • 7. Curvilinear coordinates.
  • 8. Curvilinear integral: curves, parametrisation, integral of the first type and its physical application (length, mass, centre of mass and moment of inertia of the curve), integral of the second type and its physical application (work along the curve).
  • 9. Scalar function of two and three variables: derivation in the given direction, partial derivations, gradient.
  • 10. Scalar function of two and three variables: total differential, existence of potential.

Teaching methods
Seminar based on the solution of the typical problems.
Assessment methods
Final grade will be determinated from the sum of marks achieved from 3 particular written tests. 5 marks can be achieved in each particular test. Based on 'Studijní a zkušební řád Masarykovy univerzity', chapter 9, section 2 the attendance on schooling is required. The absence can be compensated by compensatory homework. Deadline for compensatory homework is 7.2.2011
Language of instruction
Czech
