Course Objectives
The course is aimed at
1. Presenting the elementary notions of Fourier series, which is vital in practical harmonic
analysis
2. Imparting the knowledge of eigenvalues and eigen vectors of matrices and the
transform techniques to solve linear systems, that arise in sciences and engineering
3. Enriching the skills in solving initial and boundary value problems
4. Impart the knowledge and application of difference equations and the Z-transform in
discrete systems, that are inherent in natural and physical processes
Course Outcomes
At the end of the course the student should be able to
1. Employ the tools of Fourier series to find harmonics of periodic functions from the
tabulated values
2. Apply the concepts of eigenvalues, eigen vectors and diagonalisation in linear systems
3. Know the techniques of solving differential equations
4. Understand the series solution of differential equations and finding eigen values, eigen
functions of Strum-Liouville’s problem
5. Know the Z-transform and its application in population dynamics and digital signal
processing
6. Demonstrate MATLAB programming for engineering problems
