Intended learning outcomes
OVERALL GOALS:
The student will be given a basic understanding of and skills in mathematics, needed to be able to understand the mathematics courses, as part of the college and engineering programs.
AIMS OF THE COURSE:
The student should after the course be able to:
- formulate, analyze and solve mathematical problems of importance for application and study orientation with in-depth knowledge of concepts and methods learned in previous course
- explain how and why the number system extended to complex numbers
- to calculate with complex numbers written in different forms and be able to solve simple polynomial equations with complex roots even with the help of the factor theorem
- analyze, formulate and solve problems that require the determination of derivatives and integrals and compute the volume using integrals
- be able to interpret, explain and set up differential equations as models for real situations
- be able to provide exact solutions for some simple differential equations and explain the reasoning behind a method for numerical solution
- be able to work on problems, which require an overview of the knowledge acquired in the complex sets of numbers, algebra, trigonometry, and function theory of differential and integral calculus.

Grading scale
Examination
- TEN1 - Examination, 6.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
When the written test is given bonus points can be counted, but only at the regular exam.
Other requirements for final grade
The final score is calculated as described in course-PM is based on all parts.
Written exam
Required reports, oral and / or in writing, of the selected data continuously during the course.
Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination
Opportunity to raise an approved grade via renewed examination

Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
