Higher Mathematics I (Vector analysis)

Module name (EN):
Name of module in study programme. It should be precise and clear.
Higher Mathematics I (Vector analysis)
Degree programme:
Study Programme with validity of corresponding study regulations containing this module.
Electrical Engineering, Master, ASPO 01.10.2005

[updated 12.03.2010]
Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

E801 Electrical Engineering, Master, ASPO 01.10.2005 , semester 8, mandatory course
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 105 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
E806 Higher Mathematics II (Numerical Methods and Statistics)
E934 Partial Differential Equations and Function Theory

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this course, students will have acquired a solid theoretical grounding and the practical skills to apply the methods of vector analysis to studying electromagnetic fields or other fields of relevance in physics. Students will acquire the necessary technical skills for a mathematical understanding of Maxwell’s equations.
