Explore the world of Physics Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) in this comprehensive 35-minute video lecture. Delve into the fundamental concept of PINNs, which involves modifying neural networks by incorporating partial differential equations (PDEs) into the loss function to promote solutions that align with known physical principles. Learn about the advantages and disadvantages of this approach, its applications in inference, and discover recommended resources for further study. Examine extensions of PINNs, including Fractional PINNs and Delta PINNs, and understand potential failure modes. Investigate the relationship between PINNs and Pareto fronts. This educational content, produced at the University of Washington with funding support from the Boeing Company, provides a comprehensive overview of PINNs and their applications in physics-informed machine learning.

This lecture gives a clear and structured introduction to Physics Informed Neural Networks (PINNs). Steve Brunton explains the intuition behind combining neural networks with governing physical equations in a way that is accessible yet technically meaningful. The connection between differential equations, loss functions, and training is presented logically. It is especially useful for students in computational science, CFD, or applied mathematics who want to understand how machine learning integrates with classical modeling. Some prior knowledge of PDEs and neural networks helps, but overall it is a strong conceptual starting point.
