Pre-course
The pre-course (12 hours) aims at reviewing some of the necessary mathematical tools and techniques used in the course Quantum Effects in Materials.
It deals with:
- complex numbers
- dimensional analysis
- linear algebra with complex numbers: complex vectors, complex scalar products, diagonalization of matrices, eigenvectors and eigenvalues
- probability theory: continuous and discrete probability distributions, mean value and standard deviation of a probability distribution
The pre-course will contain many examples and exercises to familiarize with the concepts. It is mainly addressed to students with little or no background on linear algebra and probability theory, which will be fundamental tools in the following course.
For A.Y. 25/26, the pre-course will take place:
