Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling the requirements above.

Aim

The course provides basic knowledge of the fundamental theories within mathematical physics

Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)

After a completed course, the student should have acquired basic skills concerning convergence and approximation methods in analysis, and a good understanding how these methods can be applied in certain settings. 

Content

Ordinary differential equations: linear equations of the first order, separable equations, linear differential equations of arbitrary order with constant coefficients. Taylor's formula, computation of limits, l'Hospital's rules. Integral comparisons.. Sequences, series, power series, convergence criteria, solution of differential equations by means of power series. Uniform convergence of function sequences and function series. Some topological concepts for Euclidean spaces.

Organisation

Lectures and exercises.
