    Oh my I wish I had seen this when I was doing my Maths degree ( many many years ago) , I could never see the relationship between the heat equation and Fourier series even though I had tried to read Fourier's original paper. So I went on and treated the Heat equation as an example of differential equations and promptly forgot it and continued with Fourier series as if it was a totally separate idea. I enjoy your lectures as you make things fall into place that if only I had understood when I was younger.

    This is what we actually need our Professors to teach us in this way. Like,in this He knew that c>0 condition will be not give is anything. But he still did that
    And that what is Real Teaching. Otherwise, there will be no difference bw a Book and a Teacher.
    Professors should think as a Student would think.

    Tom at 17:20 you state that the general solution to the problem is F(x) = C1 sin(sqrt(-c)x) + C2 cos(sqrt(-c)x), however when I use Wolfram Alpha to evaluate the general solution for F''(x) = -(c)F(x), I get F(x) = C1 sin(sqrt(c)x) + C2 cos(sqrt(c)x) where the c terms in the solution are positive rather than negative. Is there a reason for the negative c in your solution. I understand that this is where we are considering the case of negative c specifically, but the sign of c seems to be accounted for with the negative sign of c in F''(x) = -(c)F(x).

    • @74dorset
      @74dorset 11 місяців тому

      Actually I think I have it. I was trying to avoid that step where we define c as -k², but I think it starts to come together much better if that step is taken. So what we really have if it is the case that c = -k², is F(x) = C1 sin(sqrt(-k²)x) + C2 cos(sqrt(-k²)x). So at this point in order to not produce a complex number, we can say F(x) = C1 sin(sqrt(k²)x) + C2 cos(sqrt(k²)x) = C1 sin(sqrt(-c)x) + C2 cos(sqrt(-c)x) which will yield F(x) = C1 sin(kx)) + C2 cos(kx))

  • @Isomnophilia
    @Isomnophilia Рік тому

    At 9:33, sqrt(c) was added as a coefficient of x on the exponents. Is there a reason for this? I tried coming up with reasons... is it arbitrary to ensure c is greater than 0?

    • @Isomnophilia
      @Isomnophilia Рік тому +1

      Was advised we are solving for F''(x) = cF(x), so the sqrt(c) is to satisfy that relation! As always, I drop marks by forgetting the question.

    Not sure why the derivative for an insulated endpoint has to be zero. Would it not potentially warm up as the heat from the center moved outwards. Insulated I thought means no lost heat to the outside.

    • @TomRocksMaths
      @TomRocksMaths  Рік тому +3

      Insulated means no heat flux through the end of the rod. Fouriers Law tells us that the heat flux is proportional to the temperature gradient. Therefore if the heat flux is zero, the temperature gradient must be zero.

    Hello , I want to ask, if we want to solve this problem analytically, do we have to sum up all of the temperature through conduction, convection, and radiation or only the radiation?
    Study case : we have 4 rooms with each size of 1x1 m. and they are adjacent to each other (2 columns x 2 rows). It is constrained by the steel wall. There is one source fire with the energy of 1000 watts from one room. How do we calculate the temperature in the center of three other compartments?
