Description
At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to
▪ Understand what is meant by the invariance of a differential equation
▪ Understand the concept of group transformations
▪ Derive infinitesimal transformations of the Lie group of transformations
▪ Determine Lie point symmetries of ordinary differential equations
▪ Use the derived Lie point symmetries to integrate ordinary differential equations
▪ Determine Lie point symmetries of Partial differential equations
▪ Use the derived Lie point symmetries of partial differential equations to determine similarity solutions which are then used to reduce partial differential equations to ordinary differential equations
