The aim of the course:
This course aims to provide the students with the basic concepts and solution methods for linear partial differential equations with emphasis on second-order equations, in particular, diffusion, Laplace, Poisson and wave equations. The course allows for students to establish the relation between physical problems and mathematical models associated with them.
 
Learning OutcomesCTPOTOA
