Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
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.
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.
