ME 380Q Topic 3 - PERTURBATION METHODS

PREREQUISITES:
Graduate standing, and Mathematics 427K or the equivalent.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Applications of mathematical analysis and numerical concepts to typical engineering problems. Introduction to perturbation theory; regular expansions and sources of nonuniformities; method of strained coordinates and multiple scales; method of matched asymptotic and composite expansions. Places strong emphasis on the relationship between the physical and the mathematical basis and on the crucial role of nondimensionalization in problem solving. May be repeated for credit when the topics vary.
