MATLC0020 Basic Course of Mathematics

Course contents (core content level)

IIntegral function and definite integral, simple integral formulas, application to areas, volumes and circuit analysis. Mean and rms values of functions. Laplace transform and inverse transform with applications to differential equations, in particular circuit problems. Unit impulse, step and ramp functions.

Course contents (additional)

Integration by parts and substitution. Numerical methods, arc length, moments and centre of gravity. Laplace transform of piecewise defined functions, complicated circuits. Transfer function and stability, convolution.

Core content level learning outcomes (knowledge and understanding)

After completion of this course the student understands the meaning of integration and knows the most important applications. The student knows the Laplace transform and its basic rules and their applications. The student knows the correspondence of circuit elements in time domain and s-domain and understands the difference between stationary and transient solutions.
