This course requires basic notions of linear algebra and geometry, jointly with some knowledge of calculus with derivatives and integrals. 

The present course is divided into five chapters:

1. Linear Algebra
2. Solving Linear Systems

3. Solving Nonlinear algebraic equations

4. Ordinary Differential Equations and their solutions
5. Partial Differential Equations for Models in Aerospace

Some laboratory experiences are planned with Matlab-type softwares. 

The main aims of this course are reaching the students' awareness of mathematical methods to solve problems coming from Aerospace Engineering and presenting rigorous methods that help the student to get familiar with high-level mathematical thinking.

Classes (with related exercise sessions) and laboratories.

Written and oral assessment.
