This module is normally taken as an option by second or third year students on single or combined honours mathematics degrees, who have taken MATH0013 and MATH0016. It may be suitable for other students with a suitable background in mathematical methods and complex analysis. Mathematics students can only take this at level 6.

There are no alternative credit options available for this module.
This course continues from the course MATH0016 (previously MATH2401) and aims to introduce further tools required to solve the partial differential equations which arise in applied mathematics. It first looks at the application of the separation of variables method in cylindrical and spherical coordinates. This necessitates a study of Bessel's and Legendre's equations and their solutions. This is done via a combination of the Frobenius method of series solution of ODE's together with generating functions. The course then moves on to study transform methods of solving PDEs, complementing the method of separation of variables and concentrating on the Fourier and Laplace transforms. The necessary techniques of integration in the complex plane will be reviewed.
