Class List of Fall Semester 2017
“Essential Mathematics for Global LeadersⅡ” is offered as Intensive Course. This is a class for students in “Minor Course of Science and Technology for Global Leaders”. But all master’s & doctoral students can take it if you have interest. The class will be conducted in English.
Theme & Objective
Theme: Differential Equations (in the broader sense of dynamical systems) are the core topics in mathematical modeling.
Objective: Through examples in Mathematica to understand
-
what are Ordinary, Partial Differential Equations (ODE, PDE)
-
some methods of resolution: closed forms, Series Solutions, Fourier & Laplace Transforms…
-
how to use Mathematica to solve and visualize solutions.
Message to Students
As part of the Essential course series, Essential Maths I (Statistics) and II (modeling ODE and PDE) are supposed to endow/increase capability to model concrete problems with mathematical equations. Essential Math II focuses on the use of a math software, and through its visualization functionality to learn/put into practice basic methods of resolution. Mathematical notions will be introduced formally, but main theorems will be stated in a concrete way. Most proofs will be omitted, in particular only basic notions of Calculus and of Linear Algebra are expected for this course.
