(Elektro-)kemiens differentialligninger
Contents
The course presents the differential equations commonly met in electrochemistry and chemical kinetics; for example ordinary differential equations and systems of these and partial differential equations. Analytical solution methods are given, concentrating on operational methods (the Laplace transform). The second half of the course deals with numerical methods, their implementation and numerical analysis aspects.
