MA 207 Differential Equations 2
Course Instructor : Swapneel Mahajan Course Name: Differential Equations 2 Course Type: Core(Theory) Credits: 4 Pre-requisites: MA108 (Informal) Course Content: Power series and frobenius methods of solving linear ODEs, Legendre equation and properties of its solutions, Bessel equation and properties of its solutions, fourier series, Heat equation and wave equations in 1 and 2 dimensions ( polar and cartesian coordinates for the latter), laplace equation, eigenvalues and eigen functions of the laplacian operator on the unit sphere. Books: Elementary Differential Equations - Rainville and Bedient, and the lecture notes were also a book by themselves Lectures: No compulsory attendance. Lectures were rather lackluster in the first half (except for the puzzle Prof. Swapneel would present at the end of every class). Even though it might seem incredibly boring, it's best to slog through the first half of the course, as the course content gets a lot more interesting in the...
