SF1660 Project in Mathematics I 1.5 credits

Simple applications of basic linear algebra and differential and integral calculus. This may include, for example, applications of linear equations, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, linear differential equations with constant coefficients, optimization, integral calculus or basic vector analysis. The exact contents may vary.

The purpose of this course is to give opportunity for the students to apply their basic mathematical skills in an applications oriented project. After the course the student should be able to:

• explain how some basic concepts and methods from linear algebra and differential and integral calculus can be used in simple applications close to the education programme,
• set up, discuss and evaluate some mathematical models for applied processes that are relevant to the education programme,
• understand basic applications which are presented in mathematical language, and give oral and written presentation of own mathematical calculations and results.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

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.
