MATH 4310 - Introduction to Partial Differential Equations

3 Class Hours 0 Laboratory Hours 3 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: A grade of “C” or better in MATH 2203 and MATH 3310.
This course is an introduction to partial differential equations (PDEs), their applications in the sciences and the techniques that have proved useful in analyzing them. These techniques include separation of variables, Fourier series, and Fourier transforms. The student will see how the sciences motivate the formulation of partial differential equations, as well as, the formulation of boundary conditions and initial conditions. Parabolic, hyperbolic, and elliptic PDEs will be studied.
