Syllabus

Vector Calculus: scalar and vector fields – level surfaces – directional derivatives, gradient, curl, divergence

–  Laplacian – line and surface integrals – theorems of Green, Gauss, and Stokes.

Sequences and Series of Functions: complex sequences – sequences of functions – uniform convergence of series – test for convergence – uniform convergence for series of functions.

Differential Equations: first order ordinary differential equations – classification of differential equations – existence and uniqueness of solutions of initial value problem – higher order linear differential equations with constant coefficients – method of variation of parameters and method of undetermined coefficients – power series solutions – regular singular point – Frobenius method to solve variable coefficient differential equations.

Special Functions: Legendre polynomials, Bessel's function, gamma function and their properties – Sturm‐Liouville problems.
