Unique number: 57170
Instructor: Dr Aram Karakhanyan
Lectures: TTh 12.30-2.00pm     RLM 5.116
Office Hours: TTh 5-6pm
Textbook: Applied Partial Differential Equations , by Richard Haberman
                 Some of the course materials will be provided through Blackboard    



Syllabus: We will try to cover the first 12 Chapters of the book with some sections skipped.


Midterm Exams:    First in-class exam  TBA
                             Second in-class exam May 7

Final Exam:       

Date & Time: Location:
SATURDAY, MAY 16, 9-12 N
ENS 126




Grading:  We are going to have homework assigned weekly, 2 midterm exams and a final. First midterm exam counts 100 points. A comprehensive second midterm exam counts 200 points. The homework taken together counts 100 points.

You will not need to take a final exam on the regular final schedule if your accumulative  grade is  A or if you do not wish to improve it. If your grade is lower than A then you can take the final exam. In that case it will count 300 points and replace  both midterm exams. This could only improve the final grade.
