Entry requirements
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
Prerequisites
Calculus and Linear algebraIntended learning outcomes
This course is a continuation of the course in multi variable calculus. Consequently, the aims are similar: to give students an understanding of mathematical concepts and familiarity with mathematical methods of analysis. Here, these aims relate to the treatment of functions of several variables and vector fields which arise in all branches of physics and engineering. Students will be expected to be able to do the following after completing this course:
- find potentials and vector potentials for a vector field
- find flow lines of a vector field
- calculate path and surface integrals
- use Gauss' and Stokes' theorems for calculations of flux and path integrals
- use spherical and cylindrical coordinates in calculations
Course content
Scalar and vector fields. The gradient, divergence and curl. Line, surface
and flux integrals. The Divergence theorem and Stokes's theorem.
Curvilinear coordinates. Partial differential equations.
Teaching and working methods
The course is given in the form of lectures, tutorials, tests and a
final examination.

Regulations (apply to LiU in its entirety)
The university is a government agency whose operations are regulated by legislation and ordinances, which include the Higher Education Act and the Higher Education Ordinance. In addition to legislation and ordinances, operations are subject to several policy documents. The Linköping University rule book collects currently valid decisions of a regulatory nature taken by the university board, the vice-chancellor and faculty/department boards.
LiU’s rule book for education at first-cycle and second-cycle levels is available at http://styrdokument.liu.se/Regelsamling/Innehall/Utbildning_pa_grund-_och_avancerad_niva.
