Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The following topics will be clarified from a theoretical point of view and illustrated by typical examples: sine and cosine oscillations, rotating circle, phase, period, frequency, wavelength, time, Fourier series, approximating oscillations, estimating Fourier coefficients, oscillators (in particluar, the harmonic oscillator), a representation of oscillations by differential equations, resonance, reversibility vs. irreversibility, wave, phase space, predator-prey relationship, parasite-host interaction, competition, hysteresis.
Assessment and permitted materials
oral examination
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
