Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The goal of mathematics is train logical reasoning than mere list of mathematical notions, algorithms and methods.
Students should learn how to:
analyze problems, suggest a method of solution, analyze correctness of achieved results with respect to given conditions, aply these methods while solving technical problems.

Summary
The course includes the selected chapters on tensor calculus, a field theory
and the solution methods of boundary value problems for both ordinary and
partial differential equations. Acquired knowledge can be used in mathematical
modelling of heat, mass and momentum transfer.
