From applications of physics and other parts of science, different mathematical and computational tools are introduced. Starting with specific problems, the methods are generalised and their universality is emphasized.
Mathematical tools that will be introduced are Fourier series and integrals, the Fourier transform, partial differential equations, equations of diffusion, linear systems, wave equation, Maxwell's equations, vector analysis and Laplace transform.
Applications of these tools are introduced through a number of projects. These could involve e.g. electrical circuits, networks, filters, harmonic signals, feedback systems, impedance, electromagnetism, diffusion, acoustics, musical instruments and mechanical systems.
