Overview

This course aims to enable the student to solve partial differential equations in general. And learn about the methods of applying partial differential equations in some physical phenomena. It shows a student how to solve some defective integrals using Gamma and Beta functions, and also to solve other special functions, such as the Bissell equation, Legendre, and Laguerre equations. The student should be familiar with how to find the magnitude of some limits for different types of functions and in different ways. The use of tests for some types of series in terms of convergence and divergence. The ability to formulate functions as series using Taylor and Maclaurin formulas.

Intended learning outcomes

After passing this course, the student will be able to solve the problems of differential equations in the specified time period and can apply partial differential equations to some physical phenomena in various ways, with the ability to use the appropriate general solution for each of the special differential equations (Bessel, Legendre, Laguerre or others). As well as formulating functions in the form of series for use in various physical and engineering applications.

Teaching and learning methods

This course is taught through lectures in the classroom and using a blackboard and writing pens on it. It can also be taught using advanced modern methods in distance education (electronic). Interspersed with training hours in solving various problems for all studied topics and with the participation of students in solving them in the first place.
