24 hours of lectures and 12 hours of tutorials

Subject Description

The objective of this subject is to give students a knowledge of how to determine the integrand so as to extremise the integral and how to integrate functions without determining the anti-derivative.

Topics covered include:

Part 1 Advanced Equations: Delayed equations, difference equations, functional equations, integral equations of Fredholm and Volterra types, chaotic systems of equations.

Part 2 Perturbation Methods: Regular perturbations, the two types of singular perturbations, asymptotic behaviour for both boundary layers and long times.

Assessment

One written examination not exceeding three-hours at the end of second semester. Plus additional tests and assignments to a maximum value of 10%
