Course Description
The course provides you with an opportunity to develop skills in setting up mathematical models, as well as, master
some analytical techniques for solving partial differential equations which arise from the modeling of physical
phenomena. In particular, you will study how to apply the method of separation of variables and the method of
integral transforms in solving initial-value and boundary-value problems in rectangular, polar, cylindrical, or
spherical coordinate systems.
COURSE OUTCOMES (CO)
By the end of the semester, you should be able to:
CO1: set up a mathematical model for a well-defined physical problem through the application of fundamental
principles in physics;
CO2: solve partial differential equation subject to initial and/or boundary conditions using separation of variables or
integral transform method; and
CO3: interpret solutions of initial-value and boundary-value problems in terms of physical significance.

ASSESSMENT OF OUTCOMES
As evidence of having achieved the outcomes, you must successfully do examination tasks.
Formative Summative
Exercise Sets, Short Quizzes, Long Tests Comprehensive Final Exam
Each final examination item will test all three outcomes (setting up model  solving the model  interpreting
solution). The rating you get for each item will be based on the rubric found in the Annex.

Grading System
Your grade for the course is computed based on both formative and summative assessment data. The assigned
weights to the assessment tasks and the computation of the course grade are detailed below.
Grade Component Weight Computation
Short Quizzes (SQ) (5%) SQ Average Grade x 0.05
Long Tests (LT) (25%) LT Average Grade x 0.25
Comprehensive Final Exam (CFE) (70%) CFE Grade x 0.70 
Total Grade
Passing Grade: 3.0

Some Course Guidelines

Responsibility for Learning
The responsibility for achieving the learning outcomes rests on you. Learning is a process which requires time and effort, and
because of that learning may be painful to some. I will only be guiding you in that process, providing push when necessary. It
is expected that you spend hours working on recommended exercises diligently. Depending on your learning style, it may be
optimal to study alone or in groups.
Missed Long Tests and Exams
In principle, you can make up for a missed long test or exam. If you miss to take a long test or the final exam on the scheduled
date, you can make a formal written request to take it on another date but only in the case when your failure to take it as
scheduled is due to some serious medical condition or emergency reasons. "EMERGENCY shall be understood as an
unforeseen combination of circumstances which calls for an immediate response to an urgent need for assistance or relief.”
Pertinent supporting documents must be attached to your letter of request. In principle, a request can be granted or denied.
Consultation
My consultation hours with students are as indicated in the Faculty Information above. Should you wish to consult with me on
matters pertaining to your achievement of the learning outcomes, send me notice through the course email at least 24-hours
before. If you wish to consult me with a quick question related to a topic or recommended exercise, you can just see me in the
department without prior notice. You may consult with me individually or as a group.
Communication
All course-related communications outside of class should be done through the course email uscmep201@gmail.com. I will
send to you supplementary learning materials, copies of lecture slides, announcements, instructions, etc. through email. Make
sure that you regularly check your inbox.
