Asymptotic Analysis

3 credits · Undergraduate

Most mathematical models of physical systems cannot be solved exactly. Often such systems have a naturally occurring small parameter which may be exploited using asymptotic analysis techniques. In this course, we will study a variety of physical systems which illustrate many of the common approaches used in asymptotic analysis. Focus will be on applications to ordinary and partial differential equations.
