No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1979–80 to 1994–95; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Mathematical Physics; wave equation, diffusion of heat and species, Laplace and Poisson equation. Modelling physical systems with distributed parameters. Boundary and initial conditions. Separation of variables, eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. Sturm-Liouville theory, orthogonality, similarity methods and Fourier series. Bessel and Legendre equations and functions, transform methods and characteristics.
As printed in the 1992–93 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.
