M 393C  (57700) Partial Differential Equations (PDE I)

Time: TTH 12:30 – 2:00 pm

Room: RLM 10.176

Instructor: Irene M. Gamba 

Course Description:

This is the first semester of a yearlong course which serves as an introduction to the modern mathematical treatment of Linear and Non Linear Partial Differential Equations. The first part of the course will be devoted to studying properties of solutions for linear equations of elliptic, parabolic as well as hyperbolic. We will also study an introduction to some nonlinear methods associated to non-linear PDEs. 

Prerequisite: Some basic knowledge of analysis is necessary.

Textbook(s):

None required. Some of this material can be found in the following texts:

·       Lawrence Evans "Partial Differential Equations", AMS, Graduate Studies in Mathematics. 

Note: meets with CSE 396 (68455)
