PHYS 82.02 Introductory Mathematical Methods for Physicists
This course surveys topics from linear algebra and differential equations, selected for their importance in upper-level physics courses, Topics from linear algebra will include complex numbers, systems of equations, matrices, vector spaces, and the eigenvalue problem. Topics from differential equations will include linear differential equations, series solutions, systems of differential equations, and partial differential equations (separation of variables). The course will serve as an alternate to the Math22/23/24 prerequisite for physics majors.
