Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Conceptualize a temperature distribution in a rod that is heated at one end and kept at a constant temperature at the other. What initial and boundary conditions would you define?
💡 Hint: Consider physical attributes like time and space constraints.
Consider a string fixed at both ends vibrating. How would you apply initial and boundary conditions?
💡 Hint: Think about how the string’s tension influences movement.
