Advanced Engineering Mathematics 1 (5 cr)

Objective

After completion of the course, the student
• understands the connection between differential and integral calculus and has a basic understanding of definite integrals as the limit of the Riemann-sum (simplified version with even partitions)
• can solve first order linear and separable ODEs
• is familiar with both Laplace transforms and inverse Laplace transforms and understands the difference between t- and s-domain
• knows how to solve ODEs using Laplace transforms, often seen in situations where said ODEs have arisen from problems relating to electrical circuits.

Content

• Integral calculus
• First and second order separable and linear ordinary differential equations (ODEs)
• Laplace transform
