List of suggested topics for term paper [at least 15] (Student to spend about 15 hrs on any one specified assignment)
S.No. Topic
1 Give a short summary of the method of solution of exact differential equation .Using equations of your own choice.Show
that differential equations can be solved by more than one method. Compare the amount of work involved in each case.
2 Show how a & b in y’’+ay’+by=0 can be expressed in terms of λ 1 & λ2. Explain how these formulaes can be used in
constructing equations for given bases.
3 Solve y’’+4y’=0 (i) By constant coefficient method (ii) By reduction to first order. Can you explain why the result must be
same in both the cases.
4
Where does the name of method “ Variation of Parameter” come from? How can we get yp(x) = -y1 rdx + y2 dx.
5 Write about the method of undetermined coefficients & method of variation of parameters. Discuss & compare the
advantages & disadvantages of each method. Illustrate your findings with examples.
6 What is Wronskian? What role did it play in Variation of Parameter.
7 Compare Laplace transform with classical method of solving differential equations explaining the advantages & illustrating
the comparison.
8 Compared to usual method , what are the advantages of Laplace transform in solving differential equations?
9 For what problem would you prefer the Laplace transform over usual method. Does every continuous function have Laplace
transform? Give a reason or counter example.
10 What is the difference between first shifting & second shifting theorem.
11 Geometrically, the definite integral gives the area under the curve of the integrand. Explain the corresponding interpretation
for a line integral.
12 Explain how a line integral generalises a definite integral known from calculus.
13 What do you mean by path independence of line integral? Why is this practically important?What does it mean physically?
14 Orientation played a role in connection with surface integrals. Explain.
15 In line integral and surface integralwe need vectr functions F ,but the integrand were actually scalar functions ..Why did we
proceed in this way?
16 Find the Fourier series of the periodic function that is obtained by passing the voltage V (t ) V0 Cos100t through
the half wave rectifier.
17 What are the Euler’s formula for the fourier coefficient s ?By what idea did we get them.
18 Can a discontinuous function can be developed in the fourier series? In Taylor series.
19 What are half range expansions ? What are they good for?
20 What are the two kinds of random variables of practical importance. Explain their difference .
