The course builds on students' knowledge acquired in undergraduate studies. Its main focus is the study of differential equations and their systems, dynamical systems (qualitative theory), as well as a brief introduction to vector analysis and theory of partial differential equations. An integral part of this course is to practice the theoretical mathematical knowledge on specific examples from chemical engineering using advanced software.

Last update: Kubová Petra Ing. (22.01.2018)

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.

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.
