This course builds on the knowledge students acquired during their bachelor’s studies. Its main focus is an introduction to vector analysis and the numerical solution of differential equations. The course also covers topics in linear algebra, the theory of dynamical systems, and partial differential equations necessary for understanding the main topics studied. An integral part of the course is the application of theoretical mathematical knowledge to specific examples from chemical engineering using modern software.

Lectures take place according to the syllabus. The theoretical mathematical knowledge is applied to specific tasks in chemical engineering. Matlab (namely „pplane“) is used for simulations of the behavior of dynamic systems. Last update: Hladíková Jana (16.01.2018)

During the semester, students develop several miniprojects (their number depends on the difficulty of the task). On the basis of their preparation, students will gain an assessment. Without the assessment student can’t take the examination. The exam consists of a written and an oral part. For admission to the oral exam, it is necessary to gain at least 50 points from the test. If a student writes the test for the sufficient number of points and fails in the oral part, the written test need not to be repeated. Last update: Hladíková Jana (16.01.2018)

The aim of the course is to enable students to brush up on and deepen the knowledge acquired in undergraduate mathematics courses of study. Although students will work in the future in various fields of chemistry, they should be able to use in the formulation, analysis, and simulation results of its rigorous mathematical tools, including most advanced software available.
