Differential Equations 31 : Laplace Equation in Spherical Co-ordinates
Channel: Adam Beatty
Date: 2013-09-02

In this video I continue with my tutorials on Differential Equations. These videos work on solving second order equations, the Laplace Equation, the Wave Equation, the Schrodinger Equation etc.

Specifically, in this video I convert the Laplace Equation from Cartesian to Spherical Polar Co-ordinates. This video is part of my subsection on the Laplace Equation (or equally the Poisson Equation) and is vital in the study of many physical systems. The Hydrogen Atom is very good example of its use and I use my treatment of the Laplace Equation in order to solve for the wavefunctions of the Hydrogen atom.

I hope it's of use!! Thank you for watching and I hope that this matches your requirements. Please feel free to provide feedback via comments and share with your friends.
