This unit introduces a range of powerful mathematical techniques for solving physics problems. These methods include complex variable theory, Fourier and Laplace Transforms. These techniques are used to solve two-dimensional potential problems, to evaluate definite integrals and initial-value differential equations. A pre-requisite for the Level M PHYSM0400 Mathematical Methods 404.
