18.07 Note: regarding the retake exam, you are allowed to use the same tools as in the first exam, i.e., one yellow, stamped A5 sheet with own handwritten formulas and notes (on both sides) and an approved calculator.
18.01 Here are finally the exam and solution: exam_fall18_tma4130_norsk.pdf, exam_fall18_tma4130_english.pdf, solutions_tma4130.pdf
17.12 The solutions of the exam will be available in before Thursday (at least).
27.11 The solutions for exercise set 12 are now available on Blackboard.
22.11 In order to be able to improve the course and the course material, we have made a questionnaire which can be found at https://kvass.svt.ntnu.no/TakeSurvey.aspx?SurveyID=l8M23l54. The more answers we get, the more valuable is the survey. So we urge all of you to spend two minutes to answer the questionnaire, and by that give your opinion about the course.
21.11 IMPORTANT! The time and place for a questions-session before the exam has been decided. The place is S2 in central building 1 and the time is 11th and 12th of December both days from 10:00 to 12:00.

Course Description

The official course description can be found here.

The course is divided into two parts:

Laplace transforms and Fourier analysis

On this part you will learn about Laplace transform (a smart way to transform differential equations into algebraic ones, that are more easy to solve). You will learn about Fourier series, a technique for expressing simple functions as a sum of sinus- and cosinus signals, as well as its extension, the Fourier transforms. These topics have applications in signal processing, image compression and a lot of other areas. We will also discuss functions of several variables, and how to solve partial differential equations, e.g. the heat equations, by Fourier series.

This part is lectured by Xu Wang, in English.

Numerical methods

Most of the mathematical equations and expressions encountered in real life applications can not be solved by pen and paper. Instead, we search for approximate solutions, found by the use of numerical algorithms and implemented on computers. In this course, we will look at numerical algorithms for solving nonlinear algebraic as well as ordinary and partial differential equations. We will also study how functions can be approximated by polynomials, and how this can be used to find approximations to integrals. Implementation and testing are indispensable elements when studying numerical methods. The lecture material in this part of the course is given as Jupyter notebooks, which are interactive web based notes containing both mathematical text and executable python code.

This part is lectured by Anne Kværnø, in Norwegian.
