Learning objectives (competencies)
Objectives Competences Taxonomy levels
You become acquainted with the mathematical tools and concepts required for the engineering modules. You familiarize yourself with the mathematical way of thinking and practice your ability to abstract.    
You are able to
- determine the solution set of a system of linear equations.
- determine the number of solutions of a given system of linear equations using suitable criteria.		 F,M K2, K3
You are able to
- calculate the sum, product, transpose, inverse and determinant of given matrices.
- determine whether a square matrix is invertible, i.e. whether its columns are linearly independent using suitable criteria.		 F,M K2, K3
You are able to
- calculate the sum, a certain linear combination, the dot and cross products of given vectors.
- describe lines, planes, circles and spheres using equations.
- determine intersections of lines, planes, circles and spheres.
- determine whether two given vectors are orthogonal or collinear using suitable criteria.		 F,M K2, K3
You are able to
- define probability distributions for discrete event spaces and calculate probabilities of events.
- build basic stochastic models, define random variables, derive their probability density functions (PDFs) and their cumulative distribution functions (CDFs) and calculate probabilities.
- explain the meaning of measures of center and variability for random variables.
- calculate the expected value, the variance and the standard deviation of discrete random variables.
- calculate conditional probabilities.
- build event tree diagrams.
- formulate and apply Bayes' theorem, the theorem of total probability and the multiplication theorem for event tree diagrams.		 F,M K2, K3
You are able to use the competencies listed above to solve more complex problems.
