Teaching in the first semester, review in January
Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
The first part contains a detailed study of systems of ordinary differential equations (existence and uniqueness of local and global solutions, special properties of autonomous and linear systems, dependance on initial conditions, ...)
The second part contains an introduction to the study of the de Rham complex.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of the course, the students should have understood completely the results presented during the lectures. They should be able to establish these results and to use them to solve various problems.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
A good understanding of the previous analysis, algebra and geometry courses is essential.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course consists of blackboard lessons and exercises sessions.
During the lessons, the main theoretical results are introduced, established and illustrated with examples. Mathematica software is also used to clarify some points.
During the exercises sessions, the students are trained to solve by themselves various problems using the results considered in the lessons.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Face-to-face course
Recommended or required readings
Lecture notes are handed out to students at the beginning of the course.
Exam(s) in session
