Prel. scheduled hours: 62
Rec. self-study hours: 98

  Area of Education: Science

Main field of studies: Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Electrical engineering, Applied Physics,Biomedical Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): G2

Aim:
The course covers Fourier series as well as Fourier, Laplace and z-transforms in a unified treatment based on the foundations of distribution theory and complex analysis. It will give mathematical knowledge fundamental for treatment of problems in system engineering and physics. It is also a preparation for courses in partial differential equations. After a completed course, the student will be able to:
  • Differentiate, integrate and transform distributions in one variable with particular emphasis on the Dirac distribution and its derivatives.
  • Calculate Fourier series for simple periodic functions and distributions and determine convergence properties and estimate approximation errors in the mean.
  • Solve linear differential equations with constant coefficients using distributions and Fourier- and Laplace transforms and linear difference equations using z-transforms.
  • Using the complex inversion integral, in combination with residue calculus, to calculate inverse Laplace and z-transforms.


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Calculus (one and several variables), Linear Algebra and Complex analysis or equivalent.

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
Lectures, problem classes.

Course contents:
Basic distribution theory in one variable. Basic properties of Fourier series, Fourier, Laplace and z-transforms. Convergence of Fourier series, point wise and in the mean. Parseval's formula.
