Course detail

Mathematics - Fundamentals

FSI-RMB Acad. year: 2021/2022 Winter semester

The course familiarises students with selected topics of mathematics which are necessary for study of optics and related subjects. The main attention is paid to mathematical analysis, work with functions and applications in optics.

Language of instruction

Czech

Number of ECTS credits

5

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Selected chapters of mathematical analysis, Fourier transform, special functions and their application in optics.

Prerequisites

Mathematical analysis and linear algebra

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Course-unit credit and exam are based on a written test.

Aims

The aim of the course is to extend students´knowledge acquired in the basic mathematical courses by the topics necessary for study of optics. It is designed especially for students who need to improve and deepen their mathematical skills.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Missed lessons can be compensated for via a written test.
