Learning objectives
Extend knowledge of differential calculus to include methods of functions of several variables, especially calculations and the use of partial derivatives. To introduce students to ordinary differential equations and elementary methods for solving some types of differential equations. To introduce the theory of functions of a complex variable, the methods of which are essential theoretical equipment for students of all electrical engineering disciplines. Finally, to provide students with the ability to solve ordinary problems using the methods of Laplace, Fourier and Z-transforms for linear differential and differential equations.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Knowledge at the level of secondary school study and MA1 is required. To master the subject matter well, it is necessary to be able to determine the definitional domains of common functions of one variable, to understand the concept of limits of a function of one variable, numerical sequences and its limits, and to solve specific standard problems. It is also necessary to know the rules for deriving real functions of one variable, to know the basic methods of integration - integration per partes, the method of substitution for indefinite and definite integrals and to be able to apply these to problems within the scope of the BMA1 scripts. Knowledge of infinite series and some basic criteria for their convergence is also required.
