Mathematics 2

Duration :

24h Th

Number of credits :

Bachelor in architecture		2

Lecturer :

Sylvie Jancart

Language(s) of instruction :

French language

Organisation and examination :

Teaching in the first semester, review in January

Units courses prerequisite and corequisite :

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Course contents :

Functional analysis : Multiple variable functions. Double and triple integrals
Geometry 2D special curves, 3D (volumes, regulated surfaces, polyhedrons, ...)
Geometry : relative positions of lines and planes, length and curvature of curve. Links with sketchup
Differential equations : basic notions
Fractals notions
tools : Partial derivatives and matrix calculus

Learning outcomes of the course :

In the same spirit as for the 1st Bachelor's course, we will primarily develop practical exercises which will constitute the application of the analysis in relation to multiple variable functions. The geometric aspects dealt with will relate to the measurement of lengths, surfaces, and volumes, using double and triple integrals.
In a second step, we develop the geometrical part of mathematics. We generalize the sketches of curves and surfaces in 3D. Numerous examples are chosen to illustrate the course (software, architectural pictures, ...). We also discuss the geometry, representations of lines and planes and search length or curvature of curves.
