Consider the number of variables involved.
Question 2.
Name one application of elliptic PDEs.
Show hintHide hint
Think of things that don't change over time.
3Question 3.
What does a Partial Differential Equation (PDE) relate to?
- Functions of a single variable

Question 5.
Create a detailed model using Fourier's equation to design a cooling system for a sensitive electronic device. Discuss the parameters you would need and how you would analyze the heat distribution.
Show hintHide hint
Identify the initial and boundary conditions based on the device's operating environment.
Question 6.
Using wave equations, analyze how a seismic wave would impact a structure. What factors would you consider in your analysis?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how the frequency of the wave interacts with the natural frequency of the structure.
