MAIR34 REAL ANALYSIS AND PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
No of Credits: 3
Prerequisites: MAIR11, MAIR21
Course Type: GIR (General Institute Requirements)
Learning Objectives: Objective of the course is to introduce and study
the system of real numbers and their properties like GLB, LUB properties, Archimedian property, density, countability and uncountability
the limit of a function at a point, the limit of a sequence, and the Cauchy criterion in a metric space settings, limit points, compactness, Bolzano-Weierstrass and Heine-Borel properties.
the notions of continuity and differentiability of functions several variables, mean value theorems for these functions
the Riemann integrable functions of real valued functions
sequence and series of functions, and their (pointwise and uniform) convergences
how PDE arise, solutions of certain first order PDE, seperation of variables method, and its use in the solutions of Laplace and Helmholtz equations.
Syllabus: Real number system. Sets, relations and functions. Properties of real numbers.
Sequences. Cauchy sequences. Bolzano-Weierstrass and Heine-Borel properties.
Functions of real variables. Limits, continuity and differentiability. Taylor’s formula. Implicit and inverse function theorems. Extrema of functions.
Reimann integral. Mean value theorems. Differentiation under integral sign. Improper and multiple integrals. Change-of-variables formula. Sequences and series of functions. Pointwise and uniform convergence. Power series and Taylor series.
Laplace and Helmholtz equations. Boundary and initial value problems. Solution by separation of variables and eigen function expansion.
