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.
