Differential Equations for Engineers
Introduction to differential equations View this lecture on YouTube A differential equation is an equation for a function containing derivatives of that function. For exam-ple, the differential equations for an RLC circuit, a pendulum, and a diffusing dye are given by L d2q dt2 + R dq dt + 1 C q = E 0 coswt, (RLC circuit equation) ml d2q dt2 ...

5. Taylor and Laurent series Complex sequences and series
www.math.hkust.edu.hk5. Taylor and Laurent series Complex sequences and series An infinite sequence of complex numbers, denoted by {zn}, can be considered as a function defined on a set of positive integers into the unextended complex plane. For example, we take zn= n+ 1 2n so that the complex sequence is {zn} = ˆ1 + i 2, 2 + i 22, 3 + i 23 ...
