Methods course. It will be a fast run through of the basic ideas - hopefully giving you enough
information to find out more for yourselves if you need to use any of these ideas.

Dear All
Here's a hint re how to proceed with Q2(b) on Question Sheet 3
In part (a), you use variation of parameters to construct expression for greens function (as per Equation (2)). Based on lecture notes, you can derive an alternative representation for the greens function (as an eigenfunction expansion) - we did this in the lectures. To prove their equivalence, take the expression for the greens function from part (a) and derive eigenfunction expansion for it. After some algebra, you should recover expression from lecture notes.
Hope this helps.
Helen

detailed notes which support the lectures
-
Problem sheet 1 relates to material on eigenfunction expansions that will be covered in week 1 (ie lectures 1 and 2).
-
Problem sheet 2 relates to Sturm-Liouville theory and point sources. This material will be covered during lectures 3 and 4 in week 2.
-
Problem sheet 3 focuses on Green's functions and supports lectures 5 and 6 in week 3.
-
Problem sheet 4 focussed on distributions and supports the material covered in lectures 7 and 8, during week 4.
