Intended learning outcomes
After completing the course a student should be able to
- use concepts, theorems and methods to solve, and present the solution of, problems in those parts of mathematical and numerical analysis described by the main contents of the course;
- use MatLab to solve problems in those parts of numerical analysis described by the main contents of the course; and
- read and understand mathematical text;
in order to
- develop a good understanding for basic mathematical concepts in one-variable calculus and be able to use these concepts for mathematical modeling of engineering and scientific problems; and
- develop skills to illustrate central concepts with a computer, solve applied problems with MatLab and visualize and present results in a clear manner.

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.
The examiner decides, in consultation with KTHs Coordinator of students with disabilities (Funka), about any customized examination for students with documented, lasting disability.The examiner may allow another form of examination for re-examination of individual students.

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.
