Partial Differential Equations (PDE) For Engineers: Solution by Separation of Variables

Modelling is imperative for understanding a large-scale process’s dynamics. Undertaking the process’s model equations-based virtual experiments, one can optimise operating conditions or/and design the systems efficiently. In most of these practical procedures, model equations deal with numerous parameters, ultimately resulting in partial differential equations (PDEs). The Partial Differential Equations (PDE) For Engineers programme helps candidates obtain holistic knowledge about this.

This four-week course in Partial Differential Equations (PDE) For Engineers: Solution by Separation of Variables by Swayam is an elective programme. Here, students will learn about the various solutions undertaken by process engineers to solve PDEs, including the separation of variables, which is this training’s primary focus. Falling under the ‘Mathematics’ category, this is a PG/UG-tier curriculum.
