Identifier Name LP
T-MATH-105856 Maxwell's Equations 8

Competence Certificate

The module will be completed by an oral exam (~30min.).

Competence Goal

The students can explain mathematical questions from the theory of Maxwell's equations. They can formulate and prove the main theorems on properties and existence of solutions,  can apply these to specific cases, and can compare  results with simpler differential equations (like the Helmholtz equation).

Prerequisites

none

Content

Specific examples of solutions to Maxwell's equations, properties of solutions (e.g. representation theorems), specific cases like E-mode and  H-mode, corresponding boundary value problems.

Recommendation

Desirable is  basic knowledge from functional analysis
