MATH 5450 - Introduction to Mathematical Physics (3 Credit Hours)

Lecture Hours: 3 Lab Hours: 0
This course focuses on the basic theory, methods and applications in math-physics and related sciences. It equips students in math, physics, and engineering with knowledge and skills in mathematical analysis and computing. The course takes a guided-inquiry and critical thinking learning approach through hands-on practice on numerous applications. Topics include eigenvalue problem, matrix operations, impulse function and distributions, stationary and equilibrium solutions, diffusion and wave propagation equations, Fourier and Laplace transforms, random matrix in statistical mechanics, and computational techniques (fast multi-scale FFT and FWT, time-splitting spectral method).

Prerequisite(s): A minimum grade of “C” in MATH 2242 and MATH 3230 .
Cross Listing(s): MATH 5450G
