Asymptotic Methods
Credit: 4 hours.
Advanced methods of perturbation theory and asymptotic analysis, with examples drawn from classical dynamics, fluid mechanics, and wave propagation: asymptotics of integrals, singular perturbation theory (boundary layers, matched asymptotic expansions, and composite expansions), multiple scales, summation of series; special topics. Same as MATH 559, NPRE 559, and PHYS 522. Prerequisite: MATH 446 or equivalent; TAM 541 or equivalent.
