Study Guide

Objective

You are familiar with differential calculus in one variable and can adapt your know-how to technical problems, e.g. calculation of the rate of change.
You understand the role of complex numbers as an instrument of the mathematical handling of technical problems. You can carry out calculations with complex numbers and you are familiar with different forms of them. You know the concept of the complex plane. You are also able to solve the problems of electricity using complex numbers.
You know the basic properties of matrices and determinants and understand their significance in the computer based handling of mathematical problems. You are able to solve a system of equations using these mathematical concepts. You are familiar with linear mappings and their matrix representations.
