Course objectives
At the end of this course, students should be able to analyse the structure and behaviour of the four fundamental linear equations of mathematical physics (Laplace's equation, heat equation, wave equation and transport equation). Moreover, students will acquire the basic knowledge of Sobolev spaces which can be used to solve the linear second-order elliptic equations.
Syllabus
  • Classification of second-order equations
  • Transport equation
  • Separation of variables
  • Theorem of Cauchy-Kowalevskaya
  • Nonlinear first-order equations, method of characteristics
  • Method of Fourier's transformation
  • Laplace's and Poisson's equation, harmonic functions
  • Heat equation
  • Wave equation
