Course description and aims

The subject of this course is Fourier analysis. In particular, we learn a method to solve differential equations by using Fourier series. First, we learn the heat equation, the wave equation and the Laplace equation together with their basic properties as typical examples of differential equations. Then, we learn sequences of functions and series of functions as the preparation for the learning of Fourier series. Finally, we learn Fourier series and its basic properties. This course will be succeeded by [Applied Mathematics for Engineers II b] in the fourth quarter.

Fourier analysis is an absolutely essential mathematical basis of science and engineering. In this course, we learn the basic theory of Fourier analysis and a way to use it in an efficient manner.

Student learning outcomes

・Students are expected to understand basic properties of the heat equation, the wave equation and the Laplace equation.
・Students are expected to be able to calculate Fourier series of basic functions.
