Advanced Differential Equations
This course will enable the students to -
- Understand the fundamentals of ordinary and partial differential equations and its applications to calculating boundary value problems.
- Aware about the concept of heat and wave equations, conditions at the boundary of the spatial domain and initial conditions at time zero.
- Learn technique of separation of variables to solve PDE’s and analyze the behavior of solutions in terms of Eigen function expansions.
