Teaching List

Mathematical Methods in Physics I

This course provides a survey of various analytical techniques commonly used to solve problems in theoretical physics. The following physical problems are used as examples: the vibrating string, waves, electrostatics, heat conduction and coupled oscillators (click to access the course evaluation report for 2023-2024).

Mathematical Methods in Physics II

This course provides students with the essential mathematical physics background needed for carrying out postgraduate studies in physics. Topics include complex analysis: analytic functions, Laurent series, Cauchy-Riemann conditions, Residue Theorem and its applications; ordinary differential equations: Frobenius method, singular points, hypergeometric ODE; partial differential equations: eigenfunction expansions and boundary-value problems; inhomogeneous ODE and PDE: Green’s function method.
