PHYS 22 Applied Mathematical Methods for Physicists

This course surveys two of the most important areas of mathematical physics: linear algebra and the theory differential equations. Topics from linear algebra include complex numbers, systems of equations, matrices, vector spaces, and the eigenvalue problem. Topics from differential equations include linear differential equations, homogenous and non-homogenous differential equations with constant coefficients, and partial differential equations (separation of variables). The application of these techniques to problems in physics and astronomy will be emphasized.  Not open to students who have received credit for Phys 82.02

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
