MATH 6150 - Partial Differential Equations


     
Spring. 4 credits. Student option grading.

Prerequisite: MATH 4130 , MATH 4140 , or the equivalent, or permission of instructor. Offered alternate years.

Staff.

This course emphasizes the “classical” aspects of partial differential equations (PDEs).  The usual topics include fundamental solutions for the Laplace/Poisson, heat and and wave equations in Rn, mean-value properties, maximum principles, energy methods, Duhamel’s principle, and an introduction to nonlinear first-order equations, including shocks and weak solutions. Additional topics may include Hamilton-Jacobi equations, distribution theory, and the Fourier transform.
