After successful completion of the course, students are able to...

• understand linear mappings     
• capture the eigenvalue problem    
  
• main axis transformations    
  
• understand differential calculus in an higher-dimensional space and apply it to appropriate functions    
  
• solve some types of linear and nonlinear differential equations    
  
• calculate transformations of differential expressions    
  
• understand higher-dimensional integral calculus and apply it to corresponding functions

Introduction to Mathematics for geodesy , part II : linear Algebra - Calculus of functions of several independent variables incl. Taylor series - ordinary differential equations

Lectures with the use of the blackboard, pictures and examples occasionally with the help of electronic aids (v.a.overhead), answering questions of students

first lecture Monday, March 2nd, 2020

After a positive completion (ie at least 20 points out of a possible 40 points) of a two-hour written exam with four examples  from the subject area of the lecture, following the examples given and the examples compiled in the exercises, a half-hourly oral examination takes place. During the oral part also  theoretical basics are asked. The grade consists of these two parts, whereby the written part is received in about two thirds of the grade.

Written material available at the beginning of the term.
