| Recommended semester: 1st - 4th semester |
| Scope and form: Lectures, problem solving sessions, computer lab work, and project work. The course integrates subjects from mathematics and structural mechanics, and includes the use of computer tools (Maple etc.) |
| Evaluation: Written exam and approval of exercises
|
| Examination: 13-scale |
| Previous course: C8812 |
| Prerequisites: 01010 / 01011 and 01012 / 01014 or 01005 and 10010 |
| No credit points with: 01030 / C0130 / 01031 / C0131 / 01032 / 45020 / 36260 / C8814 / C8812 |
| Aim: Knowledge of a number of fundamental concepts and methods in mathematics and structural mechanics, and the use of mathematical methods for solving some typical problems in structural mechanics |
| Contents: Formulation of models in selected typical problems in structural mechanics (beams, columns), and some mathematical tools that are used for the analysis of such models. This comprises: Differential equations, including boundary and eigenvalue problems for ordinary linear differential equations. Linear systems, solution methods and structure results. Sequences. Infinite series. Power series. Fourier series. Infinite series as solution for ordinary differential equations. The course presents an interplay between mathematics and structural mechanics and projects etc. integrates the two disciplines. |
Remarks: Required course in mathematics for students in Civil- and Construction Engineering. The course is only open for students in the programme. The course is offered by the Department of Mathematics (MAT) and the Department of Buildings and Energy (BYG-DTU).
