OF MATHEMATICAL PHISICS: HEAT, WAVE, AND LAPLACE EQUATIONS. BOUNDARY VALUE
PROBLEMS. SOLUTIONS OF LINEAR PDES BY USING THE LAPLACE TRANSFORM.
SEPARATION OF VARIABLES. HEAT EQUATION IN FOURIER AND MAXWEL—CATTANEO
TEORY. SOLUTION OF HEAT EQUATIONS IN BOUNDED AND UNBOUNDED DOMAIN.
Teaching Methods
THE COURSE CONSISTS IN A TOTAL AMOUNT OF 90 HOURS WHICH ARE WORTH 9 CREDITS.
IN PARTICULAR, TEACHING INCLUDES THEORETICAL LESSONS (68H) AND CLASSROOM
EXERCISES (22 H). THE LESSONS WILL ALLOW TO ACQUIRE THE KNOWLEDGE OF TENSOR
CALCULUS, OF THEORY OF PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS AND OF BALANCE
EQUATIONS WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO THE CLASSICAL EQUATIONS OF
CONTINUOUS THERMO-MECHANICS SUCH AS, FOR EXAMPLE, THE HEAT EQUATION IN THE
FOURIER AND CATTANEO THEORY. THE EXERCISES WILL ALLOW TO DEVELOP THE
ABILITY TO APPLY THE THEORETICAL CONCEPTS TO IDENTIFY AND SOLVE PARTIAL
DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS.
ATTENDANCE AT LECTURES IS STRONGLY RECCOMENDED.
Verification of learning
THE ASSESSMENT OF THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE OBJECTIVES WILL BE DONE BY MEANS
OF A WRITTEN TEST AND AN ORAL INTERVIEW. IN PARTICULAR, THE EXAM IS DEVOTED
TO VERIFY THE KNOWLEDGE AND THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONCEPTS PRESENTED IN
THE COURSE, THE COMMAND OF THE PHYSICAL-MATHEMATICAL LANGUAGE, THE
ABILITY TO IDENTIFY AND APPLY THE MOST APPROPRIATE AND EFFICIENT METHODS IN
SOLVING EXERCISES. THE WRITTEN TEST AND THE ORAL TEST WILL TAKE PLACE ON
CALENDARIZED DAYS. THE WRITTEN TEST CONSISTS OF SOME QUESTIONS TO BE
ANSWERED IN THREE HOURS. TO PASS THE TEST, THE STUDENT HAS TO BE ABLE TO
COMPUTE LAURENT AND FOURIER SERIER; TO FIND FOURIER TRANSFORM OF A GIVEN
FUNCTION, TO SOLVE A DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION BY USING THE LAPLACE TRANSFORM
AND TO SOLVE A STANDARD PDE (ELLIPTIC, PARABOLIC OR HYPERBOLIC) BY USING THE
METHOD OF SEPARATION OF VARIABLES. THE STUDENT IS ADMITTED TO ORAL
INTERVIEWS IF 18/30 MARKS HAVE BEEN REACHED IN THE WRITTEN TEST.
IN THE ORAL INTERVIEW TYPICALLY THE WRITTEN TEST IS DISCUSSED AND THE STUDENT
IS REQUIRED TO PROVE THEOREMS. IT WILL BE EVALUATED THE DEGREE OF MATURITY
ACQUIRED ON THE CONTENT, THE QUALITY OF ORAL EXPOSITION AND THE AUTONOMY
OF JUDGMENT SHOWN. THE ABILITY TO DEFINE THE INTRODUCED TRANSFORMATIONS
AND THE ABILITY TO INTERPRET STANDARD PDE SOLUTIONS IN LIMITED AND UNLIMITED
SPACE DOMAINS IS ESSENTIAL TO ACHIEVE SUFFICIENT RESULTS.
THE STUDENT ACHIEVES THE LEVEL OF EXCELLENCE IF HE KNOWS HOW TO DEAL WITH
UNUSUAL PROBLEMS THAT ARE NOT EXPLICITLY FACED DURING THE CLASS.
