Assessment and permitted materials
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
To learn about certain problems in mathematical physics related to
industrial problems. The prime goal, besides learning about how mathematics-
and especially partial differential equations- can be used to formulate
problems in physics, mechanics, finance, biology, and industry, is to
introduce students to real-world problems and problems in the frontier of
active research. The course can be seen as an introduction to the topic
"Free Boundary Problems" and there are possibilities of further study
industrial problems. The prime goal, besides learning about how mathematics-
