Mathematical Methods in Physics 2

By Prof. Auditya Sharma   |   IISER Bhopal
Learners enrolled: 772
This would be the second of a two-part series on Mathematical Methods in Physics. The aim here is to provide a solid mathematical foundation for the budding Physicist eager to climb the ladder of self-learning. This course is designed to cater to an undergraduate student who excitedly embarks on a study of Physics, but is obstructed by the mathematics which appears so forbidding. The approach we will follow is one of showing many examples, and weaving the theory around examples. When possible, we will show how Mathematica can be used to offer extra insight.

INTENDED AUDIENCE : Any Interested Learners
PREREQUISITES     : We try to make this self-contained. However,some familiarity with the basic mathematical tools used in say, the first courses on Mechanics,Electromagnetism, would help.
INDUSTRIES  SUPPORT  : Quantitative Finance and Scientific consulting companies

Exam score = 75% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100

Final score = Average assignment score + Exam score

YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE ONLY IF AVERAGE ASSIGNMENT SCORE >=10/25 AND EXAM SCORE >= 30/75. If one of the 2 criteria is not met, you will not get the certificate even if the Final score >= 40/100.
