9. Keywords DEs, ODEs & PDEs.
10. Course overview:
In physics many laws are formulated in terms of Differential Equations (DEs), Ordinary
Differential Equations (ODEs) and Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). The questions we have in
real life problems, physics, engineering, biology, chemistry, and so on, are about the nature of their
solutions. A partial differential equation (PDE) describes a relation between an unknown function
and its partial derivatives. PDEs appear frequently in all areas of physics and engineering. To
explore complex systems, physicists, engineers, financiers and mathematicians require analytical
and computational methods. In this module, Engineering Analysis, we focus on some important
aspects of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). In particular, we pay a good attention on the three
principal examples of the wave equation, the heat equation, and Laplace's equation. Boundary value
problems (PVPs), Initial Value Problems (IVPs) and Initial-Boundary Value Problems (IBVPs) are
discussed in details. These problems are the tools to model the real life problems. The nature of this
problems are usually very complex and need a very careful study. Analytical solutions are
discussed in this module. However, due to the complexity of these kind of formulations, students
should take this module as a first step to deal and get advantage of analytical methods before
engaging any perturbation or numerical step.
