About the STTP (online mode)

Differential equations have wide range of applications in engineering sciences. The mathematical modelling of physical problems arising in engineering sciences using various physical laws (such as conservation of mass, momentum, and energy, Newton’s law of cooling, Kirchhoff’s law etc.) boils down to differential equations. The differential equations which we can exactly solve are very limited. The large class of differential equations have to be solved using numerical methods. A variety of numerical methods such as finite difference methods (FDM), finite element methods (FEM), finite volume methods (FVM), and boundary element methods (BEM) are available in the literature. Every methods have their own merits and demerits. Depending on the context, we apply particular methods to solve differential equations. In this online STTP, major focus will be on explaining mathematical concepts with theory and solving differential equations along with the applications.
