COURSE OBJECTIVES

  • To introduce the basic concepts of PDE for solving standard partial differential equations.
  • To introduce Fourier series analysis which is central to many applications in engineering apart from its use in solving boundary value problems.
  • To acquaint the student with Fourier series techniques in solving heat flow problems used in various situations.
  • To acquaint the student with Fourier transform techniques used in wide variety of situations.
  • To introduce the effective mathematical tools for the solutions of partial differential equations that model several physical processes and to develop Z transform techniques for discrete time systems.
