ADVANCED MATHEMATICAL MODELING

Catalog description

Problems in heat transfer, fluid mechanics, vibration systems, and wave propagation will be modeled using partial differential equations. Solution techniques will involve the study of orthogonal expansions in Fourier series, Sturm-Liouville theory, and the method of separation of variables. Additional problems in heat conduction will be presented and solved using Bessel functions and cylindrical coordinates. Computer software for both modeling and problem solving will be employed. Prerequisite: MATH2500 (3 credits)
