Contents:

The three semester course of mathematics provides the basics and mathematical skills which are needed for the studies of civil engineering or other engineering sciences.

The main topics of part II are:

Calculus for functions of one variable: Taylor approximation, Fourier series;

Linear Algebra: vectors, matrices, determinants, systems of linear equations;

Analytic Geometry: lines, planes, hyperplanes, curves and surfaces of second order;

Calculus for functions of several real variables.

Prerequisits: High school mathematics and for some parts Mathematics I.

Textbooks: will be discussed in the lecture.

Mimeographed lecture notes (in German):
chapter 8 (Taylor and Fourier series) is part of the notes for Mathematics I,
chapters 10 - 17 (linear algebra and calculus for functions of several variables)
for sale in the office, main building, Room 229, Mo-Th 9-11.

This part II of the course is offered every year in the summer semester.
