REVIEW OF SERIES EXPANSION
www.dslavsk.sites.luc.eduREVIEW OF SERIES EXPANSION Introduction In the second half of the course, we will focus quite a bit of attention on the use of series expan-sions in physics and mathematics. We will spend several weeks studying Fourier series (Ch. 7 in Boas) , series solutions of differential equations (Ch. 12 of Boas) as well as Legendre series (also Ch. 12 Boas).

www.dslavsk.sites.luc.eduequation with specific boundary conditions. For this purpose, let’s use the example in Boas pp. 647-649. Without any loss of meaning, we can use talk about finding the potential inside a sphere rather than the temperature inside a sphere. So, let’s assume there is a sphere of radius
SERIES SOLUTIONS OF DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
www.dslavsk.sites.luc.eduLet’s start with a simple differential equation: ′′− ′+y y y =2 0 (1) We recognize this instantly as a second order homogeneous constant coefficient equation. Just as instantly we realize the characteristic equation has equal roots, so we can write the solution to this equation as: x = + y e A Bx ( ) (2) where A and B are constants ...
