Math 314 Lecture 33: Wednesday, November 24th 1999.
Using the method of Frobenius, a series solution to Bessel's
Equation was obtianed, leading us to a definition of the Bessel J
Functions. Various properties of Bessel Functions were discussed,
including the general shapes, the zeros, and formulas for integrating and
differentiating. These properties were illustrated in
Maple.
A simple application Bessel Functions was demonstrated by solving the
radial heat equation in a cylinder. This solution was then animated in Maple,
using a 3-Dimensional animation.
