Topics

Power series and Fourier series:
- Convergens, interval and radius of convergens. The ratio test.
- Taylor polynom and Taylor series.
- Fourier series of periodic functions.
- Fourier sine and cosine series.
- Finding Taylor and Fourier series using CAS (computer algebra system).
Functions of several variables:
- Describe and sketch the graph of functions of two variables.
- Partial derivatives, differentiable function and total differensial.
- Local and global extreme points and values.
- Use of CAS to draw graphs and calculate extreme values.
The Laplace transform:
- The Laplace transform and the invers transform.
- The transfer function and how to use this function modelling complex systems.
