Literature:

– A compendium is available at the department office. Price NOK 175.

A few notes may be added.

– C. C. Lin, L. A. Segel: Mathematics applied to deterministic problems in the natural sciences (SIAM's Classics Series, from 1988). This is not «mandatory» reading, but I recommend the book for those who are extra interested. Some reading material and much inspiration will be taken from this book.

– Note on Buckingham's pi theorem

– Note on the kidney problem (extremely brief, in Norwegian). As PDF and PostScript

– Note on enzyme kinetics. In A5 format (good for reading from a screen; ps, pdf) and in A4 format (good for printing; ps, pdf)

– Note on similarity solutions for the heat equation: As PDF (A5, A4) and as PostScript (A5, A4).

– Note concerning the hydraulic jump in the sink. In A4 format (good for printing – pdf, ps) or A5 format (good for screen viewing – pdf, ps).

• 2004-12-17: Eksamen og evaluering. Et råutkast til løsningsforslag finnes på siden med gamle eksamensoppgaver.

  For øvrig beklager jeg veldig at jeg ikke har klart å bli ferdig med all evaluering av prosjekt og tellende øving. Dere vil få beskjed om resultatet av denne delen når den er klar.
