Instructor: Petropoulou Eugenia
Course code: 5301
Semester: 3ο
e-class: https://eclass.upatras.gr/courses/CIV1553/
Course content:

  • Basic notions of ODEs. 1st order ODEs (ODEs with separable variables, ODEs with homogeneous coefficients, linear ODEs, Bernoulli equations, exact ODEs, ODEs that can be reduced to exact), orthogonal trajectories.
  • Linear ODEs of higher order, homogeneous and nonhomogeneous, with constant or nonconstant coefficients. Euler ODEs. Boundary value problems and eigenvalue problems.
  • Systems of ODEs (Reduction to one ODE, diagonalization method).
  • Fourier series.
  • Basic notions of PDEs. General solutions for special classes of PDEs (D’Alembert's solution, the method of characteristic equation).
  • Solution of PDEs using the separation of variables method.
  • Laplace transform and its application to the solution of ODEs and PDEs.
  • Fourier transform and its application to the solution of ODEs and PDEs
  • Use of a scientific package of symbolic computations at the laboratories for the solution of problems regarding the above mentioned topics (MuPaD of Matlab)
