Main themes
The course is intended for students with an elementary background in calculus as given in the basic course of physics in BAC1.
It contains:
-an introduction to linear algebra with emphasis on the computation of solutions to systems of linear equations, matrix algebra, eigenvalues, eigenvectors and diagonalization of matrices;
-an introduction to the study of functions of several variables (partial derivatives, differentials, gradients, maxima and minima, Lagrange multipliers, multiple integrals) and systems of differential equations with a view on applications;
-an introduction to analytical geometry, in particular to the equations and properties of straight lines, conics and quadrics;
-a good deal of illustrations and applications to pharmacokinetics, chemical and enzymatic kinetics, genetics, statistics, themodynamics聟
