Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given the heat equation ∂u/∂t = 0.01∂²u/∂x², analyze how boundary conditions might affect the solution's predictability. What if the left boundary is kept at a fixed temperature while the right one is insulated?

💡 Hint: Consider how temperatures influence one another across fixed and insulated boundaries.

Question 2

Classify the following PDE: ∂²u/∂t² = k∂²u/∂x², explaining your reasoning. What makes it differ from a parabolic PDE?

💡 Hint: Look at how the differentiation aspects lead to different classifications and real-world applications.
