Course detail

Mathematical Analysis III

FSI-SA3Acad. year: 2011/2012

The course provides an introduction to the theory of infinite series and the theory of ordinary differential equations. These branches form the theoretical background in the study of many physical and engineering problems. The course deals with the following topics:
Number series. Function series. Power series. Taylor series. Fourier series.
Ordinary differential equations. First order differential equations. Higher order linear differential equations. Systems of first order linear differential equations. Stability theory.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will acquire knowledge of basic types of differential equations. They will be made familiar with differential equations as mathematical models of given problems, with problems of the existence and uniqueness of the solution and with the choice of a suitable solving method. They will master solving of problems of the convergence of infinite series as well as expansions of functions into Taylor and Fourier series.

Prerequisites

Linear algebra, differential and integral calculus of functions in a single and more variables.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

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

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Course-unit credit is awarded on the following conditions: Active participation in seminars. Fulfilment of all conditions of the running control of knowledge. At least half of all possible points in both check tests (the first test takes place in 8th week of the semester, the second one in 13th week of the semester). If a student does not fulfil this condition, the teacher can set an alternative one.
Examination: The examination tests the knowledge of definitions and theorems (especially the ability of their application to the given problems) and practical skills in solving of examples. The exam is written (possibly followed by an oral part). The final grade reflects especially the result in the written part of the exam. However, the examiner can also take account of the results in the check tests completed in seminars.
Grading scheme is as follows: excellent (90-100 points), very good
(80-89 points), good (70-79 points), satisfactory (60-69 points), sufficient (50-59 points), failed (0-49 points). The grading in points may be modified provided that the above given ratios remain unchanged.

Aims

The aim of the course is to explain basic notions and methods of solving ordinary differential equations, and foundations of infinite series theory. The task of the course is to show that knowledge of the theory of differential equations can be utilized especially in physics and technical branches. Moreover, it is shown that foundations of infinite series theory are important tools for solving various problems.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Attendance at lectures is recommended, attendance at seminars is checked. Lessons are planned according to the week schedules. Absence from seminars may be compensated for by the agreement with the teacher.
