Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
After completing the course the student should be able to
- read and understand mathematical text applied in the field of mechanics, and communicate reasoning and calculations in this field orally and in writing in such a way that they are easy to follow
- identify a concrete mechanical problem, and choose suitable mechanical models based on a problem description
- translate the mechanical model into a mathematical model
- treat the problem mathematically and critically analyze the significance of the result
in order to use a physical mindset and communicate this within the framework of engineering science contexts.
