Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years (1.8.2018-31.7.2020), which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

After the course student knows
- the physical interpretations of the equations
- the equations in the spherical and cylindrical coordinates
- the role of the fundamental solutions
- the maximum and comparison principles
- the variational forms of the equations.
