OVERVIEW

The course is aimed at sophomore students and needs basic skills in Calculus, Linear Algebra and Geometry.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course provides basic notions about multiple integrals, line integrals, surface integrals and vector fields. It provides also basic skills about  holomorphoic functions, Laplace transforms together with some appplications to ODE's.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

At the end of the course  students will be required to

-calculate double or triple integrals by using reduction formulae or by changing variables. In particular students will be required  to calculate the area,  the volume,  the coordinates of the center of mass or the  components  of the tensor of inertia.

-calculate line and surface integrals by using the  Divergence Theorem  and the Gauss-Green formula.

-calculate the potentials of conservative vector fields;

-calculate the integral of functions of a complex variable by using the Residue theorem

-solve ODE's by using Laplace transform.
