Description

By the end of this course, students will not only master algebraic notation but also develop the ability to reason symbolically with confidence. The curriculum emphasizes a deep exploration of functions and their graphs, covering a diverse range of types including linear, quadratic, piecewise-defined, rational, polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic functions. This engaging journey will empower students to understand and apply these concepts effectively in various mathematical contexts.

SMA 2371: Partial Differential Equations (Complete Notes, Examples & Solutions) – JKUAT Biostatistics Year 2 Semester 2
These are comprehensive and well-organized lecture notes for SMA 2371: Partial Differential Equations (PDE) offered to BSc. Biostatistics Year 2 Semester 2 students at JKUAT. The notes are neatly arranged from lecture one to the final topics, making them ideal for class learning, revision, CAT preparation, and final examinations. The notes include detailed explanations, worked examples, step-by-step mathematical derivations, solved exercises, and applications of Partial Differential Equations. Topics covered include: • Review of basic concepts and partial derivatives • Jacobians, surfaces and curves in three dimensions • Simultaneous first-order differential equations • Methods of solving symmetric differential equations • Orthogonal trajectories • Pfaffian differential equations • Linear first-order partial differential equations • Formation of PDEs • Elimination of arbitrary constants and arbitrary functions • Heat, Wave, Laplace and Poisson equations • Separation of variables • Fourier and Laplace Transform methods • Numerous worked examples, tutorial questions and examination-style problems with solutions. These notes are suitable for JKUAT students and other university students studying Mathematics, Statistics, Biostatistics, Engineering, Applied Mathematics or related courses. They are an excellent revision resource for CATs and final examinations.
