Define the initial condition for the heat equation example.
Look for the function describing temperature at time \\( t=0 \\).
What are Dirichlet boundary conditions?
Think about the heat distribution at the ends of the rod.
What are the boundary conditions in our example problem?
Think about how the ends of the rod behave.
True or False: The initial condition defines the temperature distribution at a later time.
Consider at what time the initial condition is applicable.
Consider a rod with varying thermal properties. How would the heat equation change in this scenario? Provide a brief analysis.
Consider how each segment of the rod could behave differently.
If we increased the length of the rod and kept the boundary conditions the same, how would this impact the Fourier coefficients?
Think of how distance impacts the wavelength of the sine functions in the series.
