Knowledge
The students will develop a working knowledge of the main tools of differential and integral calculus in several variables.
The students who successfully complete the course for example will be able to find extremals with and without constraints, to compute 2 and 3 dimensional integrals and to use in the appropriate way Gauss-Green and Stokes theorems.
Assessment criteria of knowledge
In the multiple choice test (30 minutes, 16 questions) the student
must demonstrate his/her knowledge of the basic course contents and
prerequisites.
In the written exam (3 hours, 4 problems), the student must
demonstrate his/her ability to approach and solve standard problems
requiring the tools presented in the course. Solutions are presented
in the form of a short essay. Correctness and clarity of the essay
will be assessed.
During the oral exam the student's ability to explain correctly the
main topics presented during the course at the board will be assessed.
Methods:
- Final oral exam
- Final written exam
