Objectives:

The course aims to provide the mathematical tools used in engineering applications and the operational skills necessary to concretely apply the acquired knowledge for the solution of complex mathematical problems, which emerge from physico-chemical phenomena. The students will have to know how to consciously apply the concepts learned to solve problems of various kinds and to identify the most appropriate approach to solving them.
