- Brief description
Tasks in the field of agricultural engineering are modelled and described using mathematical methods. Engineers must create the mathematical models, determine solutions within the respective model and check the relevance of the solutions for technical practice. Building on the content of the course "Mathematics 1 (BAT)", the lecture will provide an introduction to the mathematical tools required for this. The mathematical methods will be demonstrated and practised using examples.
- Teaching and learning outcomes
1. elements of matrix calculation
2. functions with several variables
3. elements of probability theory
- Overall workload
The total workload for the module is 150 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").

- Recommended prior knowledge
For successful participation, a sound knowledge of real functions and differential and integral calculus is required.
- Knowledge Broadening
Students have extended and advanced knowledge of mathematical techniques for modelling and solving their subject-specific problems.
- Application and Transfer
Students are able to apply elements of matrix calculation and multidimensional analysis to subject-specific problems in agricultural systems engineering. They learn to describe and solve data-based problems using methods of probability theory. They will be able to assess the relevance and consistency of these solutions for application in agricultural systems engineering.
