Learning Outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to provide to the students of the Department of Geology all the necessary knowledge of Applied Mathematics and Statistics that are needed to their science in the areas of Differential and Integral Calculus of one variable and many variables, Differential Equations and Statistics. During the course students will get familiar with mathematical applications in Geology and Environmental Sciences. This knowledge is necessary for many subsequent specialty courses of the Department of Geology.
At the end of the course the students will have acquired the following skills:
- To be able to effectively use Differential and Integral Calculus of one variable and many variables and basic notions of Statistics during their studies at the Department of Geology.
- To be able to competent in mathematical modeling of problems in geology.
|
General Competences
|
Generally, by the end of this course the students will, furthermore, have develop the following general abilities (from the list above):
- Searching, analysis and synthesis of facts and information
- Decision making
- Adaptation to new situations
- Production of new research ideas
- Working in an interdisciplinary environment
|
