Content
Learning outcome
Knowledge: Know about the concepts presented in the course so that the student is able to take further courses in mathematics and physics required in the engineering degree. The student will during the course gain knowledge that must be applied in the courses running in parallel.
Skills: The student will be able to structure, solve, document and present problems from the course content. They will also be able to interpret and evaluate solutions and comment upon relevance and precision.
General competence: The student will see the use of concepts from mathematics as a tool for solving problems from both math and physics. They will see how physical laws form the basis for creating mathematical models, and how math and physics are interconnected in all the themes in the course. Through this course and Introduction to math and physics 1, the students are able to communicated with others about problems in science and technology.
