應用數學

Purpose of the class: Master analytical and numerical techniques of linear algebra, complex numbers, differential equations and other fields of mathematics in order to solve practical problems appearing in various branches of chemistry. The theoretical concepts will be used to solve real problems using MAPLE software. Each student is encouraged to download and install MAPLE from https://ca.nycu.edu.tw/software_list on his/her own WINDOWS computer.

Calculus I/II

The class will be taught in English using the chalk & blackboard approach. No PPT slides or notes will be distributed. Students are encouraged to take the notes by themselves or use their cell phones to take photos of the blackboard.

Each class will start with a 3-5 minutes quiz testing knowledge from the previous class. The average from the 10 best quizzes (out of 13) will contribute 20% to the final score. The midterm exam and final exam will contribute 40% each to the final score.

• Elements of linear algebra
• Elements of algebraic geometry: math of curves and surfaces
• Series and sequences
• Powers series and elements of hypergeometric functions
• Ordinary differential equations
• Partial differential equations
• Coordinate systems transformations
• Math of complex numbers

The class will not follow a single textbook Various textbooks and on-line resources will be introduced in the class
