Semester:

Branch of knowledge: Engineering and Architecture



Requirements (Subjects that are assumed to be known)
Calculus I, Calculus II and Linear Algebra.
The student should be familiar with the most important techniques in complex variable functions. Specifically, he/she should understand and manage the following basic concepts: 1. Elementary functions of one complex variable. 2. Integration in the complex plane. 3. Power series developments. 4. Aplications of the residue theorem. The course is complemented with some basic topics in ordinary differential equations: 1. Solution of first order differential equations. 2. Solution of higher order linear differential equations. 3. Use of Laplace transform to solve linear equations and systems with constant coefficients.
Description of contents: programme
1. FUNCTIONS OF ONE COMPLEX VARIABLE: Complex numbers. Analytic functions. Cauchy-Riemann equations. Harmonic functions. Power series and elementary functions. Complex integration. Cauchy's theorem and applications. Laurent series and calculus of residues. The residue theorem and applications. 2. ORDINARY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS: Initial and boundary value problems. Existence and unicity. Elementary solution methods. Linear equations and systems. Laplace Transform and applications.
Learning activities and methodology
The docent methodology will include: 1. MASTER CLASSES, where the knowledge that the students must acquire will be presented. To make easier the development of the class, the students will have written notes and also will have the basic texts of reference that will facilitate their subsequent work. 2. RESOLUTION OF EXERCISES by the student that will serve as self-evaluation and to acquire the necessary skills. 3. PROBLEM CLASSES, in which the proposed problems are discussed and developed. 4. PARTIAL CONTROLS. 5. FINAL EXAM. 6. TUTORIALS.
