LAPLACE’S EQUATION IN SPHERICAL COORDINATES

The coordinate systems you will encounter most frequently are Cartesian, cylindrical and spherical polar. We investigated Laplace’s equation in Cartesian coordinates in class and just began investigating its solution in spherical coordinates. Let’s expand that discussion here. We begin with Laplace’s equation: 2V. ∇ = 0 (1)

SERIES SOLUTIONS OF DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

Let’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 ...

REVIEW OF SERIES EXPANSION

www.dslavsk.sites.luc.edu

REVIEW 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).
