MATH 661 - Applied Mathematics(3 credits)
Prerequisite: Admission to the MS program in Mathematics or consent of instructor
This course is aimed to provide relevant topics arising in mathematical models of real-world problems. The vector algebra and vector calculus are developed in rectangular, cylindrical and spherical coordinate systems. Classification of physical fields including electromagnetic field and electrodynamics force field is also covered. In addition, initial-boundary value problems of classical equations in mathematical physics, namely Laplace’s equation, the heat equation and the wave equation are presented. The course also exposes methods in solving these equations including separation of variables, Fourier series and integral transform. Motivations and relevant tools to obtain solutions to Bessel function and other special functions are explicitly discussed. The course is designed to meet the growing demands from students whose career expectation is in applied mathematics, engineering and natural sciences. Offered annually.
