Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Consider a complex boundary problem in fluid dynamics. Describe how you would set up a finite element solution to analyze the flow.

💡 Hint: Think about how breaking a complex shape into smaller shapes can make the problem easier to handle.

Challenge 2 Hard

Using the Fourier series, derive the first three terms for the function given by f(x) = sin(3πx/10) on the interval [0,10]. Discuss what happens when you add more terms.

💡 Hint: Start with the Fourier sine coefficients and recall what happens with complex functions.
