Duration :

25h Th

Number of credits :

Bachelor in chemistry		3

Lecturer :

Françoise Bastin

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

Learning unit contents :

Short table of contents:
- Functions of several variables: Taylor's limited development, extreme values for functions (minimum, maximum, Lagrange multipliers)
- Fourier transform; convolution of functions

Learning outcomes of the learning unit :

The course follows "MATHEMATIQUES GENERALES" which belongs to the programm of the first year (calculus I). The aim is to give more classical and basic techniques of analysis and algebra (calculus II).
This is done from a ''tool'' point of view, but also from a rigourous math point of view. We also have in mind a teaching and learning of logic and deduction required in a good formation in sciences, in order to help students be able to handle various new situations.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills :

Contents of General mathematics (calculus I).

Planned learning activities and teaching methods :

Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :

Practical information is given at the beginning of the academic year.
