The main goal of this course is to solve the wave equation, the heat equation, and Laplace's equation with certain specific boundary conditions. We will study some mathematics that will assist us to understand these equations and to find solutions in some important cases. The major topics for MATH 5470 are:
Although not every student will take all of the following courses, this course covers material that is useful if a student plans to take ENGR 5380: Heat Conduction and Radiation, ENGR 5440: Applied Mechanics, and MATH 5480: Applied Mathematics for Scientists and Engineering II.
The links below refer specifically to MATH 5470 in the current term or in the last term that I taught the course.
