ME303 Advanced Engineering Mathematics
A continuation of both ME201 and ME203 in which both classical calculus
techniques and the computer implementation of numerical methods are
discussed. Partial differential equations of mathematical physics: wave,
diffusion, Laplace, Poisson equations. Boundary and initial conditions.
Separation of variables, transforms, and numerical methods. Applications
will emphasize the role of partial differential equations in understanding
the behaviour of physical systems.
