Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions

Content

Basic concepts and elementary methods of integration, vector fields and phase flows on the real line. Non-autonomous equations. Existence, uniqueness and smooth dependence on initial data as well as other parameters for the solutions of general first-order systems. Rectifiability of vector fields near non-singular points. Applications to systems of higher-order. Existence and non-existence for boundary value problems. Integral curves and phase flows of autonomous systems. Linear systems: systems of first-order with constant coefficients (including complex eigenvalues). Stability. Eigenvalue problems (Sturm.Liouville Theorie).

Learning Outcome

After successful completion of the modul, students are able to understand and apply the elementary theory of ordinary differential equations, stressing their analytical investigation as well as geometric features of the solutions.

Module Exam

Description of exams and course work

Aktueller Hinweis angesichts des eingeschränkten Präsenzbetriebs auf Grund der CoViD19-Pandemie: Die Prüfungsform ändert sich gemäß §13a APSO auf das Prüfungsformat: einmalige Übungsleistung.
In dieser weisen die Studierenden durch die Beantwortung von Fragen, der Durchführung von Berechnungen, der Entwicklung von Modellen für Beispielprobleme sowie der Interpretation von Ergebnissen nach, dass sie die Konzepte und Methoden der elementaren Theorie gewöhnlicher Differentialgleichungen kennen und in der Lage sind, diese zur Behandlung von Fragestellungen aus diesem Bereich mathematisch sauber und nachvollziehbar anzuwenden.

Exam Repetition

The exam may be repeated at the end of the semester.

Current exam dates

Currently TUMonline lists the following exam dates. In addition to the general information above please refer to the current information given during the course.
