Uploaded: 2023-10-23T13:45:57Z
Duration: 42 min 32 s
Description: Description: A “functional” F[u] takes a function u(x) and returns a number (e.g. by integrating), and since functions are perfectly good normed vector spaces we can define derivatives F′ with respect to functions u! This is called “calculus of variations.” Instructors: Alan Edelman, Steven G. Johnson
