MEK1000 Mathematics 1000 Course description

Part 1 Project assignment in group.

• 4-6 student in group.
• Scope of 5,000 words (+/- 10 %).

The assignment can be given in English or Scandinavian language. The individual group must deliver in the same language.

Part 1 must be passed before part 2 oral presentation of the project assignment can be carried out.

Resit exam: A student who fails the ordinary exam, may nevertheless submit a reworked version as a resit.

Part 2 Presentation of project assignment

• In seminar.

The presentation can be given in English or Scandinavian language. The individual group must deliver in the same language.

Part 1 and part 2 must have obtained a pass grade on both parts in order to pass the course as a whole and earn the credits. Part 1 and part 2 appear on the diploma

All aids are permitted, as long as the rules for source referencing are complied with.

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge:

The student is capable of

• explaining the use and solution of differential equations in the modelling of practical systems and performing simple analyses of such models
• explaining the concept of functions, the derivative, and the definite and indefinite integral
• explaining the relationship between linear equation systems and practical problems
• solving equations numerically using the bi-section method and Newton method.

Skills:

The student is capable of

• solving separable and linear differential equations with the help of anti-derivation
• solving homogeneous and nonhomogeneous second-order differential equations with constant coefficients
• calculating with complex figures and solving equations with complex solutions
• using basic arithmetic operations for matrices, such as multiplication, addition and inversion
• solving linear equation systems in reduced row echelon form and inversion
• calculating exact values for the derivative and the anti-derivative for certain elementary functions
• using the definite integral to calculate sizes as area and volume
• using derivation for, for example, optimisation and related rates

General competence:

The student is capable of

• transferring a practical problem from their own field into a mathematical form
• writing precise explanations and reasons for using procedures, and demonstrating the correct use of mathematical notation
• using mathematical methods and tools of relevance to the field
• using mathematics to communicate about engineering issues
• explaining how changes and changes per unit time can be measured, calculated, summed up and incorporated into equations

• 5 ECTS overlap with xx1050 Public Health and Health Management, 5 ECTS.
• 5 ECTS overlap with SYKK/SYKPPRA40 Promotion of Health and Prevention of Illness, 5

ECTS.

• 10 ECTS overlap with SYKK/PPRA45 Public Health, 10 ECTS.
• 20 ECTS overlap with med SYK2900 Public Health in a Global Perspective, 20 ECTS.
• SYKK2200x and SYKP2200x are fully overlapping.

The following coursework is compulsory and must be approved before the student can take the exam:

• Three of four individual written assignments.
• Each assignment required approximately 6-8 hour of work.

Individual written exam, 3.5 hours.

The exam result can be appealed.

In the event of a resit or rescheduled exam, oral examination may be used instead of a written exam. If oral exams are used for resit and rescheduled exams, the exam result cannot be appealed.

All printed and written aids.

A;handheld calculator that cannot be used for wireless communication or to perform symbolic calculations. If the calculator’s internal memory can store data, the memory must be deleted before the exam. Random checks may be carried out.

Grade scale A-F.

One internal examiner. External examiners are used regularly.

The course is equivalent to KJEFE100, MAFE1000 and ELFE1000, and has an overlap of 10 credits with TRFE1000, EMFE1000, DAFE1000 and BYFE1000.

Under the rule that students have three attempts to take an exam, attempts in equivalent courses also count.
