Assigned Department Objectives

Teaching Method

Outline:
In this course, we will learn the basics of Fourier analysis (including topics on the Laplace transform) based on the calculus and linear algebra learned so far. This is also applied to engineering and physics, so this class will also cover them, including basic applications.
Style:
Classes will be taught in a lecture style, and there will also be exercises and quizzes.
Notice:
Instead of memorizing theorems and formulae individually, carefully follow the development of discussions and the proof of theorems given in each lecture, so that you can understand it yourself. In problem exercises, do not try to remember the steps to solve a problem, but rather try to solve it yourself based on definitions and basic theorem and ideas. Also, if necessary, review the content learned during the previous years.
Students can earn extra points by submitting voluntary assignments, and lose their points depending on their attitude, etc. in the class.
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for a passing grade.
