After successful completion of the course, students are able to calculate the spectrum of operators in vector spaces, to explain and use the index notation, to calculate in higher dimensions and to categorize different solution paths for certain differential equations and to transfer these methods to examples.

Important update on Jan. 18th, 2021: The 2nd test is online and takes place via TUWEL.
Important update on Dec. 15th: The next lecture will take place on Thursday, Dec. 17th, /2020, at 12:15 pm. I hope the zoom access is working again without restrictions; otherwise, I kindly request you to pay attention to the chat.
Important update on Nov. 20th, 2020: The 1st test is online and takes place via TUWEL. Because of problems with accessibility, the test period is PROLONGED UNTIL 6:30 pm.
Important update on Nov. 17th, 2020: the first test will be an online quiz that takes place in TUWEL on Friday, Nov. 20 2020 from 16-18 (4-6 pm).
Important update on Nov. 5th, 2020: next Thursday lecture will be shifted to Friday, Nov. 13th, 11:15-13 o clock.
Important update on Nov. 3rd, 2020: if nothing speaks against this all further online lectures on Thursdays are time-shifted for one hour later and start at 9:15 am (instead of 8 am).
Important update on Nov. 2nd, 2020: Because of the current Corona regulations, the lecture mode is changed to "distance learning" (please see link below) until further notice.

Wrt group partitioning: For logistic reasons, please follow 1-to-1, whenever possible, the group selection of Professor Jörg Schmiedmayer LVA "134.120 Grundlagen der Physik III"
I urge all colleagues already at this time to register for the TUWEL course; otherwise, no grading can be given!
A missing TUWEL entry will delay the grading considerably!

Please log into the online PREPARATORY MEETING (no presence in lecture room)
on Thursday, October 8th, 2020, at 9:00 am (not 8:00 am):
If you want to buy course notes (@ EUR 15): there will be a "contact-less" possibility to buy these notes in front of the lecture hall before the lecture; please allow "distancing", and please have EUR 15 ready without needing exchange money; there will be a dropbox for the money after pickup of the notes.
There are two written examinations; together with the practice tests (grouping like practice tests); namely
on Fr. 16:00 - 18:00 20.11.2020 - because of the lockdown online via TUWEL
and
on Fr. 13:00 - 15:15 22.01.2021 - because of the lockdown online via TUWEL
Please register in advance for the course in TUWEL.A maximum of 100 points can be achieved in each of these two tests.
Another "substitute test" will take place in the coming summer semester. The latter can be attended in order to improve a negative assessment (prerequisite: at least one positive test during the semester). The two best grades count.
Test dates:Test 1 ("multiple choice"): the same date as the lecture exercises; see above; Content: unless otherwise stated in the lecture Linear algebra incl. tensors.
Test 2: the same date as the lecture exercises; see above; Content: if not otherwise stated in the lecture distributions, Green's functions until special functions of mathematical physics.
Replacement test:
Date to be announced. The next tentative date is May 8th, at 16:00, FH HS6, if this is possible.
The replacement test replaces the worst of the two previous tests. Participation only for candidates who have received a negative assessment on the LVA.
The subject area of the retest is the entire content of the LVA.
Grading scheme: Per test up to 100 "raw" points can be obtained.
The "standardisation" of these "raw" points T1 and T2 is carried out according to the following formula:Normalized points = (T1 + T2 - 40) * 200 / 160
For a positive assessment, at least 21 standardised points must have been achieved per test.A total of at least 71 standardized points must have been achieved in both tests.
71-100 standardized points: sufficient101-130 standardized points: satisfactory131-165 standardized points: good166-200 standardized points: very good
