NIGB14014U Mathematics for Geoscientists
BSc programme in Geology-Geoscience
Mathematics represents the grammar by which scientists express the physical and chemical laws governing natural processes, as well as make quantitative predictions of the evolution of these processes. The course aims at presenting, through theory and exercises, the basic mathematical notions that have simple, yet important applications to the Geosciences.
Knowledge:
Mathematical expressions
Derivatives and integrals of functions
Linear equations
Vectors and linear algebra
Differential equations
Notions of statistics and spectral analysis
Skills:
Handle mathematical expressions and equations relevant to the Geosciences.
Competences:
Cast in quantitative terms the qualitative description of a problem/process relevant to the Geosciences.
