Learning outcomes
Student will be able after completing the course:
- to solve surface integrals of 1st and 2nd type and volume integrals and to apply them to physical and geometrical situations in Cartesian, cylindrical and spherical coordinates;
- to solve the above integrals using integral theorems - Green, Stokes and Gauss;
- to master the principles of expansion of the functions of one or more variables in Taylor and Fourier series, and to use these expansions to solve physical problems;
- to understand the basics of calculating complex numbers and functions of complex variable;
- to understand the basics of tensor algebra.
Syllabus
  • 1. Double integral, methods of calculation (Fubini theorem, transformation of coordinates), physical and geometric applications (mass, center of mass, moment of inertia of a surface).
  • 2. Triple integral, methods of calculation (Fubini theorem, transformation of coordinates), physical and geometric applications (mass, center of mass, moment of inertia of a body).
  • 3. Surfaces in three-dimensional Euclidean space: parameterizations, Cartesian equations.

Teaching methods
Seminar based on the solution of typical problems.
Assessment methods
Based on 'Studijní a zkušební řád Masarykovy univerzity', chapter 9, section 2, the attendance on schooling is required for students of full-time form of study, there is only one unexcused absence tolerated during the semester. The absences can be compensated by elaboration of additional exercise from the set of examples in the textbook "Kurfürst Petr, Početní praktikum, 2017", published on the website of the course, selected individually by the teacher. Deadline for any additional homework is 30.6.2018, however, it is better to hand them over continually. Students also gain points for individual activity, each exercise activity is evaluated with one point for correct and complete solution of any of pre-assigned example. Subject stuff is divided into three particular credit tests, which are written during the semester, typically in the 5th, 9th and the last week. For each credit test student can obtain a maximum of 10 points. Student write fourth credit test from whole semester, if achieve less then 15 points. Time limit for each test is 60 - 90 minutes. The course may be completed also by oral examination. Students of combined form also write three particular tests or they can write one summary test during the exam period. Final grade will be determined from sum of all points gained by each student during the semester and eventually from knowledges proven at the oral exam. All the detailed informations about the method of final classification, and others, are also published on the website of the course on my website.
