Description
A partial differential equation (PDE) is an equation which requires relations between the various partial derivatives of a multivariable function. The first part of the course introduces the linearity, homogeneity, classification, and a method to solve the partial differential equation, which is the method of separation of variables. The second part of the course involves solving the partial differential equation applied in an engineering problem, namely heat and wave problems. Students will learn to solve the problems analytically, using the method of separation of variables, and numerically, using finite difference method. Students learn the topics through a series of recorded videos and interactive quizzes.
