Descriptions

Prerequisites

MATLE0052, MATLE0111

Course contents (core content level)

- Complex numbers and AC circuits
- Limits and continuity
- Derivative as a measure of change, numerical differentiation
- Applications of derivative in electronics and kinematics
- Differentiation by using tables (or computer)
- Applied maximum and minimum problems
- Integral function as an antiderivative
-Integration by using tables (or computer)
- Definite integral as the net signed area and how to approximate it by using Riemann sums.
- The connection between integral functions and definite integrals (or the first fundamental theorem of calculus )
- Improper integrals

Course contents (additional)

- More advanced integration methods: Integration by parts and integration by using partial fraction decomposition
- Numerical integration: Simpson's rule
- The basic idea of an ordinary differential equation (ODE)

Core content level learning outcomes (knowledge and understanding)

After completion of this course the student is able to handle complex numbers both in ordinary sum form and in polar form. The participant can apply complex algebra in order to solve AC circuit problems. Student is familiar with differentiation and integration and can use these methods in simple applications.

Core content level learning outcomes (skills)

Student uses fluently computer when problems described above are concerned.

Recommended reading

All the necessary material (written by the lecturer) can be found in the internet address, which is given to students in the beginning of the course. If student wants more support to studies, the suitable book is e.g.
Launonen, Sorvali, Toivonen: Teknisten ammattien matematiikka 3Y , WSOY.

Teaching methods and student workload

Assessment weighting and grading

In order to pass the course (grade 1), student should get 40% (in all) of the total score in two individual tests . The ability to write Matlab code is also checked in tests. Homework activity has influence on the grade.
