Vector analysis (Part 1):
Gradient, divergens and curl. The theorems of Gauss and Stokes. The nabla-operator. Simplification of vector expressions using nabla calculus and/or tensor. Orthogonal coordinates, especially cylinder coordinates and spherical coordinates. Singular vector fields, especially the point source and point vortex. Laplace- and Poisson equations. Cartesian tensors with applications to electro dynamics and continuum mechanics.
Partial differential equations (Part 2):
Physical problems that can be modeled by differential equations such as the wave equation, the Laplace- and the Poisson equation. d’Alemberts method, separation of variables, Hilbert spaces, spectral theory of self-adjoint Hilbert space operators, Sturm-Liouville systems. Separation of variables in cartesian, cylindrical and spherical coordinated; special functions like Bessel functions, Legendre polynomials and spherical harmonics.
