Calculus III 1100-2AF10
The lecture "Calculus III" is the continuation of the previous lectures "Calculus I" and "calculus II". It covers three fields in mathematics that are needed to complete the mathematical education of future physicists. We start with the introduction to differential geometry dealing with surfaces that are subsets of Rn. The second part is calculus on complex plane and in the third part of the lecture we discuss generalized functions and Fourier transform. The plan of the lecture is the following:
I. Introduction to differential geometry
a. The definition of the surface
b. The tangent space
c. The cotangent space, the differential of the function
d. Differential forms, integration, Stokes theorem
e. Curves in R3
f. Vector fields, vector analysis
II. Calculus on complex plane
a. Complex numbers
b. Holomorphic functions, Cauchy-Riemann equations
c. Integration along curves
d. Taylor and Laurent series
e. Multivalued functions, logarithm
f. Residuum and its applications in integration
III. Introduction to the theory of generalized functions and Fourier transform
a. Fourier series
b. Fourier transform
c. Generalized functions, Dirac delta.
