Organisation and examination

Teaching in the first semester, review in January

Schedule

Schedule online

Units courses prerequisite and corequisite

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Learning unit contents

The first part contains a detailed study of systems of ordinary differential equations (existence and uniqueness of local and global solutions, special properties of autonomous and linear systems, dependance on initial conditions, ...)
The second part contains an introduction to the study of partial differential equations.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

At the end of the course, the students should have understood completely the results presented during the lectures. They should be able to establish these results and to use them to solve various problems.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

A good understanding of the previous analysis, algebra and geometry courses is essential.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course consists of blackboard lessons and exercises sessions.
During the lessons, the main theoretical results are introduced, established and illustrated with examples. Mathematica software is also used to clarify some points.
During the exercises sessions, the students are trained to solve by themselves various problems using the results considered in the lessons.

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

Face-to-face course

Organisational adjustments related to the current health context

The space in the classroom being sufficient, the course will be face-to face under yellow or orange code. The exams will also be face-to-face in the same situation.

Recommended or required readings

Lecture notes are handed out to students during the course.

Assessment methods and criteria

Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.

An examination comprising an oral part on the theory and a written part on the exercices is organized during the first session.
A similar examination is organized during the second session.
