FYS702 Mathematical Approximation Techniques in Physics and Engineering Sciences, part 2

University of Agder

Contents

-Global analysis of differential equation

-Boundary layer theory

-WKB theory

-Multiple-scale analysis

Learning outcomes

The student will learn mathematical approximation methods to find analytical solutions to differential equations. In particular, the course will concentrate on global asymptotic methods to obtain approximate solutions to differential equations that often appear in physics and engineering sciences, and that may not be solvable in closed form.
