Enabling students to develop abstract thinking and acquire knowledge in the field of partial differential equations

To use the acquired knowledge in engineering subjects and in practice, to postulate and solve mathematical models in engineering subjects using the material covered in the course.

Theoretical part (lectures): Introduction (Cauchy–Kowalevska theorem) First order equations (linear and quasi linear equations-method of characteristics, Pfaffian equation, nonlinear equations-Lagrange-Sharpit method). Second order equations (classification, canonical forms, characteristic manifold for higher order equations) Cauchy problem for one dimensional wave equation – energy interval. Mixed problem for one dimensional wave equation. – Fourier method for separation of variables. Cauchy problem for heat conduction equation – maximum principle. Dirichlet and Neiman problem for Laplace’s equation – maximum principle. Numerical solution of PDE. Use of computer for solving PDE. Sobolev spaces. The notion of weak derivative. Weak solution for more dimensional wave equation. Mathematical physics equations. Schrodinger equation. Euler equation and Navier-Stokes equation.. Practice classes (placticals) During these classes the subject matter rom theory classes is supported by examples to provide futher practice and better understanding.

Lectures. Numerical and calculation practice. Consultations. Lectures are organized in combined form. The presentation of the theoretical part is followed by the corresponding examples which contribute to better understanding of the theoretical part. During the practice classes which follow the lectures, the subject matter is supported by charactristic examples to provide futher practice and better understanding In addition to lectures and practice classes there are regular consultations. There is a possibility of taking partial examinations which cover certain logical units during the course.
