Integral Transform Methods

Module overview

Many classes of problems are difficult to solve in their original domain. An integral transform maps the problem from its original domain into a new domain in which solution is easier. The solution is then mapped back to the original domain with the inverse of the integral transform. This module will provide a systematic mathematical treatment of the theory of integral transforms and its varied applications in applied mathematics and engineering.

Learning and Teaching

Teaching and learning methods

The lecturer will provide a structured week-by-week study programme, based largely on the notes provided. Each week there will be three hours of lectures. There will be tutorials every other week, each lasting one hour. The tutorial classes will be used to study problems illustrating the lecture material. Students should spend their private study time studying the lecture notes and working through these problem sets.
