Comment:
Fælles undervisning med MM534 i 3.kvartal.
Ubegrænset deltagerantal. 3. kvartal.
Prerequisites:
None
Academic preconditions:
Linear algebra, Mathematical and numerical analysis should be known.
Course introductionTo introduce modelling of problems from science and engineering by ordinary differential equations and to analyse and solve these equations
QualificationsHaving completed the course successfully, the student can be expected to
- analyze and organize a domain or a situation with reference to mathematical modeling
- recognize problems which can be modeled by differential equations
- “read” the qualitative properties described by a model
- construct a mathematical model for a concrete problem
- find solutions analytical or numerical to ordinary differential equations by application of anappropriate tool
- to relate the solutions to the original problem
Expected learning outcomeAt the end of the course the student should be able to:
1. formulate a differential equation as a model for a simple problem
2. solve differential equations by methods taught in the course
3. find steady states and analyse the asymptotic behaviour of simple systems of differential equations
Subject overview1.1. First order differential equations and mathematical models.
1.2. Slope fields andinitial value problems.
1.3. Euler's approximation.
1.4. Existence and uniqueness, Picard-Lindelöf theorem (as application of fixed point theorem).
1.5. Gronwalls Lemma and the convergence of Euler's method.
1.6. Analytic tools: integrating factors, separation of variables, and exact equations.
2.1. Second order linear equations: fundamental solutions, the solution space.
2.2. The Wronskian, Abel's theorem.
2.3. Forced vibrations and resonance.
2.4. Analytic tools: undetermined coefficients and the variation of parameters.
