Introduction to Applied Mathematical Methods II

(3.5 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

The fundamental methods of applied mathematics are continued in this course. Topics include: variational calculus, special functions, series solutions of ordinary differential equations (ODE), orthogonal functions in the solution of ODE, basic partial differential equations and modeling heat flow, vibrating string, and steady-state temperature. Topics in complex function theory include contour integrals, Laurent series and residue calculus, and conformal mapping. The course concludes with a basic introduction to probability and statistics. Credit is not given for both ACMS 20750 and PHYS 20452 .
