OVERVIEW

The course "Mathematical Analysis II" aims to provide students with some mathematical tools, both theoretical and computational, useful for engineering and application-oriented topics.

The course will be focused on series of functions, Fourier series, Laplace transforms, equation and systems of linear differential equations, curves, surfaces and related integrals, conservative vector fields and Gauss-Green formulas.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The main objective of the course is to provide students tools for differential and integral calculus and methods for numerical integration for Cauchy problems and  for definite integrals.
