Course objectives
The discipline is a part of the fundamental course of mathematical analysis for students of physics. At the end of this course, students should be able to:
classify partial differential equations;
select an appropriate classical analytical method of solution depending on type of equation;
find solution in terms of integral or infinite series for basic equations.
Syllabus
  • Boundary value problems for ordinary differential equations.
  • Special functions: Gamma function, Bessel functions, Legendre, Laguerre a Hermite polynomials.
  • Distributions.
  • Methods of characteristics: quasilinear 1st order equation, canonical form of 2nd order equations, initial value problem for wawe equations.
  • Methods of integral transforms: Fourier, Laplace transforms.
  • Methods of separation of variables: wawe equation, heat equation, eliptic equation, Schroedinger equation.
  • Eliptic equations: harmonic functions, potentials, Green function.
