| 401-0261-G0L | Analysis I   | 8 credits | 5V + 3U | A. Cannas da Silva, U. Lang | |
| Abstract | Differential and integral calculus for functions of one and several variables; vector analysis; ordinary differential equations of first and of higher order, systems of ordinary differential equations; power series. The mathematical methods are applied in a large number of examples from mechanics, physics and other areas which are basic to engineering. | ||||
| Objective | Introduction to the mathematical foundations of engineering sciences, as far as concerning differential and integral calculus. | ||||
| Lecture notes | U. Stammbach: Analysis I/II | ||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | The exercises and online quizzes are an integral part of this course. | ||||
| 401-3533-70L | Differential Geometry III | 4 credits | 2V | U. Lang | |
| Abstract | Topics in Riemannian geometry in the large: the structure of complete, non-compact Riemannian manifolds of non-negative sectional curvature, including Perelman's (1994) proof of the Cheeger-Gromoll soul conjecture; the Besson-Courtois-Gallot barycenter method (1996) and the proofs of the minimal entropy theorem and the Mostow rigidity theorem for rank one locally symmetric spaces. | ||||
