Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

Complex numbers

Differential equations and their application

The foundations of probability theory

Different probability distributions

Point and interval estimations

Intended learning outcomes

To enhance the mathematical skills from Mathematics 1 and thus build  sound foundations for further studies in the courses of the program. To give basic knowledges in the fields of mathematical statistics, probability theory, differential equations and complex numbers.

After the course the student should be able to

. use the fundamental concepts of mathematical statistics, probability theory, differential equations and complex numbers.

. write mathematical texts using notations connected to these fundamental concepts.

. set up models  expressed in terms of the fundamental concepts.

. use classical methods of problem solving in these fields of mathematics.
