Introduction to differential equations: general classification, definition of solution and initial and boundary value problems. Ordinary differential equations of first order: the existence and uniqueness theorem; separable equations; homogeneous equations; linear equations (homogeneous and non homogeneous). Some problems modeled by first order equations: problems in mechanics, population dynamics. Exact equations and integrating factors. Nonlinear equations reducible to linear ones: the Bernoulli equation. Ordinary higher order differential equations reducible to lower order equations. Linear equations of order greater than one: general theory of homogeneous and non homogeneous linear nth order equations. Existence and uniqueness theorem. General solution for homogeneous linear equations with constant coefficients. Linear non homogeneous equations: the variation of parameters method.
Systems of first order linear equations: introduction and its relation with an nth order linear differential equation. Some examples. Basic theory of systems of first order linear equations. Homogeneous linear equations with constant coefficients. Real or complex single eigenvalues case and repeated eigenvalues case. Fundamental matrices. The method of variation of parameters for non homogeneous systems.
The Laplace transform: definition and existence conditions. Laplace transform of some basic functions using the definition. Main properties of Laplace transform: first and second translation theorems and the transform of the derivative. Inverse Laplace transform. Solution of initial value problems and of differential equations with discontinuous forcing functions, using the Laplace transform. Impulse functions and Dirac δ-function. The convolution theorem.
Line integral of scalar and vector functions. Independence of path. Work done by a force. Green’s Theorem.
Surface integral. Area of a surface, mass, center of gravity, centroid and moment of inertia. Flux integral. Some differential operators. Stoke's and Gauss 's theorems.
FOURIER ANALYSIS Fourier Series. Euler formulas. Even and odd functions, half-range expansions. Approximation by trigonometric polynomials and minimum square error.
PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS Equations of first order. General solution of linear equations. Second order equations. Solution by the method of factorization for homogeneous partial differential equations with constant coefficients. The wave equation: D’Alembert solution and separation of variables. The heat equation.
Theoretical classes will be based on the oral presentation of the themes of the course unit, where deduction and abstraction are essential to understand the program. Examples will be solved in all topics.
In practical classes students will have to solve problems based on texts or on an exercise book. There will be a presence sheet in every practical class. Students cannot miss more than 25% of the classes. Otherwise they will not be admitted to exams, unless they have a special status (See General Evaluation Rules of FEUP).

If students miss more classes than allowed by the rules, they will not be admitted to exams, unless they have a special status (See General Evaluation Rules of FEUP).
Final mark = -50% Test 1+ 50% Test 2
At recurso exam (resit) students who fail to pass can repeat the first or the second test (the best mark will be taken into account). However, they can take a final exam, which will cover all themes of the course unit.
The maximum mark (20 in 20) can only be achieved through an oral examination.
Not applicable
According to General Evaluation Rules of FEUP
The successful students can improve their marks at recurso exam (resit), taking a final exam covering all themes of the course unit. The maximum mark (20 in 20) can only be achieved through an oral examination.
