Bessel function for the drums
- tutor : Guillame Roux
- Syllabus: Course built on miscellaneous small chapters, based on examples. The goal is to recall and/or introduce useful mathematical tools with hands on.
- Functionals : derivation, integration and constraints.
- Matrices : exponential, determinants.
- Around the gaussian, steepest descent method.
- Hilbert spaces, linear operators, distributions, orthogonal polynomials.
- Complex analysis : analycity, calculus.
- Differential equations : Green's function, method of characteristics, non-linear examples.
- Differential geometry : line, surface, volume, curvature, orthogonal coordinates.
- Functions : homogeneous functions, some special functions.
- Elements of group theory.
- incomplete bibliography :
