PHY/MTh 356: Mathematical Methods for Science and Engineering
Professor Schlosshauer
This course introduces a variety of essential mathematical techniques used in modeling physical phenomena. The techniques will be illustrated through their application in many areas of physics. Core topics include: infinite series, including Taylor and Fourier series; oscillations and waves; complex numbers and functions; vector calculus; coordinate systems; partial differential equations and boundary-value problems; special functions; linear algebra; and eigenvalue problems.
