Course aims

Major. To provide an overview of the chosen mathematical methods for description of physical fields and possessing of skills to solve the principal types of problems.

Brief description of the course

Vectors and vector fields, differential operators, gradient, divergence, rotor, circulation, integral- and differential calculus in field theory. Spherical, polar and cylindrical coordinates. Scalar line and surface integrals. Theorems of Gauss-Ostrogradski and Stokes. Central fields theory. Conservativity of fields. Basic elements of potential fields theory.

Learning outcomes in the course

Upon completing the course the student:
- has ability to interpret the mathematical description of physical fields;
- knows the time-space objects as well;
- Intensities in the theoretical understanding of mathematics in physics;
- has ability to apply vector analysis dynamics and challenges of modern physics;
- has ability to independently complete themselves in mathematical physics.
