VPSYPRA10 Utvikling og utøvelse av relasjonskompetanse Emneplan

No requirements over and above the admission requirements.

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:

• using linear algebra to determine eigenvalues and solving systems of differential equations and solving second order linear differential equations with constant coefficients 
• discussing functions of multiple variables and apply partial derivatives to various problems
• explaining convergence and power series representations of functions
• explaining key concepts in set theory, probability theory, parameter estimation, hypothesis testing and choice of model
• explaining normal, binomial, Poisson and exponential probability distributions, as well as typical problems to which they can be applied

Skills

The student is capable of:

• calculating eigenvectors and diagonalising matrices
• applying diagonalisation of matrices to solve systems of differential equations
• determining the convergence of series using the ratio test, and finding the Taylor series of known functions
• describing and discussing functions of multiple variables using e.g. level curves and partial derivatives
• determining and classifying critical points of functions of two variables
• applying statistical principles and concepts from their own field
• basic calculus of probability with discrete and continuous probability distributions and parameter estimation
• calculating confidence intervals and testing hypotheses
• applying mathematical tools to matrices and functions of two variables

General competence

The student is capable of:

• identifying the connection between mathematics and their own field of engineering
• transferring a practical problem from their own field into mathematical form, so it can be solved analytically or numerically
• using mathematical methods and tools that are relevant to the field
• using statistical ways of thinking to solve problems in engineering and communicating them orally and in writing
• solving problems in engineering by use of probability calculations, statistical planning of trials, data collection and analysis

The course is taught through joint lectures and exercises. In the exercise sessions, the students work on assignments, both individually and in groups, under the supervision of a lecturer.

None.

For å få bestått praksis og fremstille seg til eksamen (fordypningsoppgaven) må følgende oppgave være utført og godkjent:

• Gjennomføre et prosjekt i gruppe med presentasjon (prosjektrettet praksis)
• Tilstedeværelse i praksisstudier. Totalt 240 timer. Studenten må være tilstede minimum 90 prosent av den planlagte tiden
• Oppgave 1, Individuell oppgave, omfang: 1500 ord (+/- 20 prosent)
• Oppgave 2, Tema, problemstilling og valg av metode for fordypningsoppgaven
• Oppgave 3, Individuell oppgave eller gruppeoppgave, Omfang: 1500 ord (+/- 20 prosent)

Aids enclosed with the exam question paper, and 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 builds on DAFE1000 Mathematics 1000.
