The lecturer has supplied notes and Maple worksheets in UniStudium. - Educational objectives
- Be able to study and solve simple mathematical models that involve partial differential equations.
- Prerequisites
- Prerequisite for students, planning to attend the course with profit, is basic knowledge of multidimensional calculus;
ordinary differential equations, Cauchy problems; Fourier series; classical dynamics. - Teaching methods
- Face-to-face Lectures and practical training in the Computer Lab with Maple. Office hours.
- Other information
- It is recommended to attend the lectures.
- Learning verification modality
- Oral exam that includes solving exercises. An oral exam is extremely important. It allows the student to demonstrate her/his comprehension of the syllabus and to dialogue with the professor by using the appropriate scientific terminology. Moreover, during the oral exam the student is able to correct a wrong statement by means of the interaction with the professor who stimulates her/him to reason. The length of the exam is directly proportional to the student's emotional feelings and inversely proportional to her/his knowledge of the syllabus.
