The crux of this course is to learn Fourier analysis for solving boundary value problems, to study Sturm-Liouville Systems, and to use complex variables to study Fourier and Laplace transforms and their inversions.
Emphasis I: Linear Algebra (4 weeks)
1. Euclidean geometry: vectors, dot products, Rn
2. Matrix algebra: matrices, solving equations, eigendecompositions
3. Calculus: derivatives, change of coordinates
Emphasis II: Differential Equations (4 weeks)
1. Linear systems: matrix exponentials
2. Nonlinear equations: fixed points and linearization
3. PDEs: separation of variables
Emphasis III: Complex Variables (4 weeks)
1. Fourier theory: transforms, applications to ODEs, PDEs
2. Contour integration: Cauchy-Riemann, poles
3. More general integration: Differential operators, Green/Gauss/Stokes
