Description

  • Sine and Cosine series, Fourier series, formation and convergence of these series, complex number representations

  • Fourier and Laplace transformations and inverse transformations

  • Dirac delta function and Green’s function

  • Solving differential equations using series and transformations 

Learning outcomes

After completing the course, student is expected to

  • Compute Fourier, sine and cosine series with real and complex coefficients for different functions.

  • Compute Fourier transformations and inverse Fourier transformations for different functions.

  • Present Dirac’s delta function in different forms and compute integrals containing delta functions.

  • Use Fourier transformations and Fourier series as a method for solving linear differential equations.

  • Form Laplace transformations and use these to solve linear differential equations with constant coefficients and also apply these to solve partial differential equations 

Description of prerequisites

  • Basic studies on Mathematics (option A or B)

  • MATA114 Differential equations (recommendation)
