Calculus of variations provides a unifying language for problems in which the state or trajectory of a system is determined by extremising an energy or action functional. Rooted in classical mechanics ...
Calculus to the level of ODEs, partial derivative and multiple integrals, some knowledge of PDEs helpful but not essential. Students should have a certain comfort level with dealing with advanced ...
Variational methods provide a unifying framework for modelling the interaction of thermal and elastic phenomena in solids and fluids. Rooted in the principle of least action, these approaches cast ...
