Course detail

Students will learn useful knowledge of mathematical models focusing on risk modelling. They will also learn how apply studied models and methods within the framework of engineering processes.

Fundamental concepts, methods and analytical techniques related to risk modelling will be studied. Specific ways of reasoning, typical for risk analysis and related model building will be developed and enhanced.

Basic knowledge of undergraduate mathematics (linear algebra, differential and integral calculus, probability and statistics, numarical methods), and computer technology for application software use.

The course is based on mathematical modeling and its applications in risk engineering. The explanation is oriented on explication of fundamental ideas and notions, especially by means of suitable examples, on their applicability and on unifying view of mathematical principles. Related mathematical methods of solutions for individual areas will be presented with the use of suitable the software: Statistica, Minitab, Matlab, and Excel.

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Course-unit credit requirements: active participation in seminars, mastering the subject matter, and delivery of semester assignment. Examination (written form): a practical part (4 tasks), a theoretical part (4 tasks); ECTS evaluation used.
