Description
Asymptotic series: properties, matching, application to differential equations. Asymptotic expansion of integrals: elementary methods, methods of Laplace, stationary phase and steepest descent, Watson’s lemma, Riemann-Lebesgue lemma. Perturbation methods: regular and singular perturbation for differential equations, multiple scale analysis, boundary layer theory, WKB theory.
Prerequisites
- Prerequisite(s): ( MATH 3057 or MATH 3007 ) and ( MATH 2454 or MATH 3705 ), or permission of the School.
Conditions and arrangements
- Prerequisite(s): ( MATH 3057 or MATH 3007 ) and ( MATH 2454 or MATH 3705 ), or permission of the School.
- Also offered at the graduate level, with different requirements, as MATH 5408 , for which additional credit is precluded.
- Lectures three hours a week.
