Theory of Functional Equations

TAKEUCHI Shingo
Course description
In the first half, you learn solutions and properties of variable coefficient linear ordinary differential equations based on the solution of various ordinary differential equations learned in "differential equation" (the second semester of the first year) and "Calculus with Differential Equations" (the first semester of the second year). In the second half, you will learn the solution method and properties of basic partial differential equation (heat, wave, Laplace).
Purpose of class
Differential equations are indispensable for understanding the various fields of science and engineering. It is a matter of course to understand the nature of the linear differential equation, but to aim at making a foundation for acquiring various subsequent subjects, reviewing differential integral and linear algebra through that learning.
Goals and objectives
  1. You can describe the structure of solutions of linear ordinary differential equations.
  2. You can describe how to solve linear ordinary differential equations with variable coefficients and properties of the solutions.
  3. You can describe how to solve heat/ wave/ Laplace partial differential equations and properties of the solutions.
