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

MEB_24_A_2.04.MA2 Mechanical Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2024 , semester 2, 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:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr. Marco Günther
Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Marco Günther

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will have broadened their technical and methodological knowledge of mathematics with a view to a wider field of application in mechanical engineering/process engineering. They will understand the importance of coordinate transformations and will be able to apply them in a specific field, e.g. in the strength of materials field. Students will be able to handle complex numbers and have insight into a variety of applications, e.g. in electrical engineering. Students will be able to convert mathematical methods in the context of linear algebra and analysis involving functions with multiple variables and implement them using a mathematical tool.
