Partial differential equations can describe everything from planetary motion to plate tectonics, but they’re notoriously hard to solve. Unless you’re a physicist or an engineer, there really ...

Under the hood, mathematical problems called partial differential equations (PDEs) model these natural processes. Among the ...

We were always taught that the fundamental passive components were resistors, capacitors, and inductors. But in 1971, [Leon Chua] introduced the idea of a memristor — a sort of resistor with … ...

The focus will be on first order quasilinear equations, and second order linear equations. The method of characteristics for solving first order quasilinear equations will be discussed. The three main ...

Partial Differential Equations. An Introduction. Second Edition. John Wiley, 2008. Lecture notes will be provided. Assessment. Exam (100%, duration: 2 hours) in the summer exam period. Key facts.

Waveguide-based structures can solve partial differential equations by mimicking elements in standard electronic circuits. This novel approach, developed by researchers at Newcastle University in the ...

The honor, like a Nobel Prize for mathematics, was given this year to Luis Caffarelli for his work on partial differential equations. By Kenneth Chang As a mathematician, Luis A. Caffarelli of the ...
