Partial Differential Equations of Mathematical Physics
PhysicsH&S - Humanities & Sciences
Course Description
This course is intended to introduce students to the basic techniques for solving partial differential equations that commonly occur in classical mechanics, electromagnetism, and quantum mechanics. Tools that will be developed include separation of variables, Fourier series and transforms, and Sturm-Liouville theory. Examples (including the heat equation, Laplace equation, and wave equation) will be drawn from different areas of physics. Through examples, students will gain a familiarity with some of the famous special functions arising in mathematical physics. Physics 111 is considered equivalent to Math 131P, and credit will not be granted for both courses.
