Differential Equations for Engineers
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 +cl dq dt

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 ...
