Pre-requisites
Overview
A study is made of the generalisation of differentiation from functions of one variable to functions of several variables, through the concept of partial differentiation.
A study of systems describable by linear differential equations is begun by looking at some simple examples of engineering interest. The solution of ordinary differential equations using the methods of complementary function and particular integral, and using Laplace transforms is considered. The concept of transfer function is explored and used to study the stability of systems having feedback.
An introduction is given to Fourier Series and their applications.
