Electronics Engineering

The course aims to provide the student with the ability to use mathematical methods, not included in the previous courses, needed to study physical phenomena and the ability to interpret the obtained analytical results. The course provides the Electronic Engineering student with the basic notions concerning partial differential equations in mathematical physics. After a brief overview on partial differential equations which model physical phenomena, first order and higher order p.d.es, linear and nonlinear equations, some resolution methods are given. Specifically, initial boundary value problems are studied and the physical interpretation of the obtained results is discussed. Moreover, in the case of differential equations (both o.d.es and p.d.es) non-linear problems in which "small" parameters appear, are considered on introduction of "perturbative methods". Applications and examples are provided. Finally, the student is encouraged and guided to develop personally applicative examples he is interested in, on application of methods studied in the course.
