The assessment consists of two written exams of 60 min each (in accordance with §4(2), 1 of the examination regulations). The first (midterm) exam takes place after half of the course, the second (final) exam takes place shortly after the end of the lectures. Auxiliary means such as literature or calculators are not allowed. Resit exams for both exams are offered in the first weeks of the subsequent semester.

Students

• know basic concepts of matrix theory.
• have a basic knowledge of integral calculus in a single variable.
• have a basic knowledge of multivariate differential calculus.

The course Mathematics 2 is the second part of the three semester basic training in higher mathematics. Topics are

• Riemann integral,
• n-dimensional vector spaces,
• scalar product, length and angle,
• linear mappings and matrices,
• determinants,
• eigenvalue theory,
• multivariate calculus.

There are no Prerequisites. We strongly recommend to attend the three maths courses in the order Mathematics 1, Mathematics 2, Mathematics 3.
