Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes

The student in this course will apply the mathematical tools obtained from previous courses to better understand concepts arising from natural (and not only) phenomena and the way these are transformed into mathematical problems. More specifically, by completing this course, students should be able to

  • use the method of characteristics to solve partial differential equations
  • classify partial differential equations of second order in elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic type
  • use Green’s functions to solve elliptic type equations
  • have a basic understanding of diffusion equations
  • use separation of variables to solve linear partial differential equations
General Competences
  • Adapting to new situations
  • Decision-making
  • Working independently
  • Team work

Syllabus

Basic concepts. Linear, quasi-linear and semi-linear equations of the first order. The Cauchy problem and its solution by the method of characteristic. Linear equations of 2nd order: classification (hyperbolic, parabolic, elliptic), examples (wave equation, heat equation, Laplace equation). Problems of initial and boundary values for the wave and heat equations. Boundary value problems and the Laplace equation. The Cauchy problem for the wave and heat equations.
