Digital Teaching
In the summer semester of 2023, we will offer regular classroom courses.
As an additional service, we will also offer electronic material for self-study.
Please be sure to register for the corresponding Moodle course as well. All current information and learning materials will be posted in Moodle.

Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
1. simplify the complexity of the Navier-Stokes equations for various simple flow problems and reach their exact solutions
2. apply the analytic theory, based on Lie symmetries, for solving ordinary and partial differential equations, specially for flow problems
3. analyze the symmetries and invariances of given differential equations by means of the theory of Lie groups
4. development of potential local conservation laws of differential equations with the aid of the direct construction method.
