- Jochen Rau
- Audience
- beginning physics students
- Goal
- to provide the mathematical tools needed for the subsequent course
on theoretical physics
- Keywords
- basic concepts and terminology (numbers, sequences and series, convergence,
functions); analysis (differentiation, integration, Taylor expansion, Fourier
expansion, integral transforms); simple differential equations; linear
algebra (vectors, matrices); geometry (manifolds, coordinates, fields);
elements of vector analysis
- Length
- 15 lectures (a` 90 min.) + 10 problems sets (homework)
- Questions & Comments
- Your feedback is important! Please do not hesitate to send questions/comments
via email. You can also
see the results of a student evaluation of
