Text: Elementary Applied Partial Differential Equations,
by Richard Haberman.
Syllabus:
Partial differential equations arise as basic models of flows,
diffusion, dispersion
and vibrations. Topics include first and
second order partial differential equations and classification,
particularly the wave, diffusion, and potential equations, their
origins in applications and
properties of solutions, characteristics,
maximum principles, Green's functions, eigenvalue problems,
and Fourier
expansion methods.
We
will attempt to cover issues from most of the first 12 chapters , with some sections skipped.
Use of Matlab or Mathematica may be required on some assignments.
Prerequisites:M427K, with a grade of at least C. One of M361K or M365C is
also recommended.
