TMA4195 Mathematical Modelling - Fall 2012

• Continuation exam did take place Monday 12.8.2013.

• Exam 12.12.2012: Problems and suggested solutions.
  • There were some differences between the bokmål text and the other texts in problem 6b.
    This will be taken into into account so that your grades will not suffer.

• 12.10.
  • Conservation laws and boundary conditions are not covered in the compendium, but in this separate note.
• 04.09.
  • Compendium now available at department office (IMF) at 7th floor SB2.

Solving exercises is an integral part of this course! Make sure that you to the homework problems.

• Self-study week 24.09. - 28.09
  • Study population models from compendium or online: Population Models.

• Past homework:
  • (19.10.) Read about solving the heat equation with the Fourier transform (e.g. Keryszig (9th ed.) chp 12.6)
  • (11.10.) Read Krogstad Part 3, section 3.2 Generalizations of the Kinetic Theory
  • (21.09.) Read slides on quenching reaction.
  • (14.09.) Repeat linear systems of ODEs, equilibrium points, and stability.
    If this is new to you, read e.g.Kreyszig (9th edition) chp. 4.3-4.5 (3.3-3-5 in 8th ed.)
  • (04.09.) Read the slides on kidney modeling and the chapter 3.3 in part 1 of Krogstad's lecture note.
  • (04.09.) Repeat quickly the theory of 2nd order differential equations with constant coefficients including inhomogeneous equations (Mathematics 3 or equivalent).
  • (24.08.) Read the 'Content and Idea' page (see left menu)
    and in particular Krogstads 2009 presentation on Mathematical Modeling (top of the page)

• Problem sets will be available Fridays before the problem session - or earlier.
• Solutions will be available Mondays after problem session.
