Solving the 1D Wave Equation

In this video, we solve the 1D wave equation. We utilize the separation of variables method to solve this 2nd order, linear, homogeneous, partial differential equation. Topics discussed in this lesson include but are not limited to:

-The separation of variables method (AKA the product method) for PDEs.
-Eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the problem.
-Composition of a complete solution via Fourier analysis.
-Animation of the solution for a PDE.

This video focuses on the solution of the governing PDE only, other videos in this series discuss how to derive this PDE.
