This course has been discontinued.
Last planned examination: Autumn 2021
Decision to discontinue this course:
The Head of School at the CBH school decides to develop courses at the end of Autumn-21.
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.
