Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
1. An ability to solve important classes of first- and second- order differential equation problems.
2. An ability to interpret solutions and draw conclusions from
them.
3. A competence in using Laplace transform tables, including the
shift theorems, with ability to solve initial value problems
for ODEs.
4. Familiarity with methods for treating coupled sets of ODEs.
5. An ability to determine Fourier series for some basic
periodic functions, with some appreciation of how a series
converges to a periodic waveform.
6. A basic understanding of the complex Fourier series.
