Learning outcomes |
This Curricular Unit aims to give an introduction to the study of differential equations, Laplace transforms and Fourier series. In the end of this Curricular Unit the student should be able to: - classify and solve diferent types of differential equations - solve initial value problems - compute direct and inverse Laplace transforms. Solve differential and integral equations using Laplace transforms - compute Fourier series of periodic functions and of functions defined in bounded intervals - use the method of separations of variables to solve partial diferential equations

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
1. The teaching methodology is based on theoretical and practical lessons. The theoretical part is based on the teacher's presentation of the syllabus contents, based on the bibliography of the unit or other notes available. Great focus will be given to the rigorous demonstration of the main results. The practical part of the classes is based on solving exercises, both in an accompanying and autonomous way. 2. The assessment is done through two written tests, carried out in the middle and at the end of the semester.
