MATH 275: Topics in Applied Mathematics: A World of Flows II
The purpose of this course is to show beautiful surprises and instructive paradoxes in a maximal diversity of fluid phenomena, and to understand them with minimal models. The prerequisites are fluency in the so-called "mathematical methods", plus ability to think physics at the advanced undergraduate level. The content will be the same as that of winter 2019 (but different from that of winter 2020). nnNOTE: Undergraduates must obtain instructor permission and pass a test to enroll. Undergraduates interested in taking the course should contact the instructor no later than the first week of class, providing information about performance in prior coursework.
