| dc.description.abstract | This supplementary examination paper for PHY 322: Mathematical Methods & Statistical Mechanics, administered by the University of Fort Hare in October/November 2024, assesses students' proficiency in advanced mathematical techniques relevant to physics. The 100-mark paper, comprising five equally weighted questions, covers vector calculus (gradient, curl, surface integrals), properties and applications of the Dirac delta function, solutions and orthogonality of Legendre polynomials, derivations and solutions related to Bessel differential equations, and fundamental concepts of tensors including rank, notation for dot and cross products, Kronecker delta, and Levi-Civita tensors. The paper requires both theoretical derivations and problem-solving skills in these areas of mathematical physics. | |
