This is an exercise course corresponding to the lecture course Applied Mathematics for Physicists and Scientists(PHY.M211).
Students will be able to deepen their understanding by solving problems related to the lecture course.
At the end of this course, students will be able to solve elementary problems of Fourier transform, special functions, and partial differential equations.
Fourier transform, gamma function, Legendre functions, Hypergeometric functions, Confluent hypergeomeric functions, Orthogonal polynomials, Bessel functions, Hermite functions, Laguerre functions, partial differential equations, Laplace transform
✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
In every exercise class students will be given some problems and solve them.
Some explanations of their solutions will also be given.
