See course description in Danish
Learning Objectives
- Determine the solutions to n’th order homogeneous differential equations
- Determine the solutions to linear homogeneous systems of differential equations
- Master the transfer function and apply it to solution of inhomogeneous differential equations
- Determine and argue for the stability of linear systems of differential equations
- Know the differences between various types of convergence (absolute, conditional, point-wise, uniform) of infinite series and identify them
- Estimate the number of terms which is needed in order to obtain a desired approximation of an infinite series
- Find the Fourier series for simple periodic functions, clarify their convergence properties, and approximation-theoretic properties
- Apply Fourier series and various other types of infinite series to solution of differential equations
