APPLIED PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

Catalog description

This course covers both analytic and numerical methods for solutions to initial value problems and boundary value problems for linear partial differential equations of elliptic, hyperbolic, and parabolic types, as well as nonlinear problems. An emphasis will be placed on numerical methods, as well as accuracy and numerical stability of these methods. Applications of partial differential equations to various branches of science including physics, chemistry and biology will be emphasized.
