Digital Teaching
In WiSe2022/23, regular face-to-face teaching is aimed at, but ultimately depends on the (short-term) regulatory requirements in response to the pandemic.

As an additional service, we will offer electronic material for self-study even with regular face-to-face classes.

Please be sure to register for the appropriate Moodle course as well. All current information and learning materials will be posted in Moodle.

Lehrinhalte
Asymptotic series and expansions; applications of the regular perturbation method in some flow problems; failure of the Poincare expansions; method of strained coordinates; renormalization technique; method of matched asymptotic expansions; flows around a sphere or a cylinder with small Reynolds numbers; method of multiple scales; turning point problems.

2. recognize the limitations of the regular perturbation method;

3. choose and apply alternative suitable singular perturbation methods if the regular perturbation method fails for given differential equations;

4. recognize relations and distinctions of different singular perturbation methods, e.g. methods of strained coordinates, renormalization, multiple scales.
