MATH 4280 - Introduction to Partial Differential Equations

(MQR-AS, SMR-AS)

Spring. 4 credits. Student option grading.

Forbidden Overlap: due to an overlap in content, students will not receive credit for both MATH 3230 and MATH 4280.
Prerequisite: MATH 2930, MATH 3270, or equivalent. Students will be expected to be comfortable writing proofs. More experience with proofs may be gained by first taking a 3000-level MATH course.

Staff.

Topics are selected from first-order quasilinear equations, classification of second-order equations, with emphasis on maximum principles, existence, uniqueness, stability, Fourier series methods, approximation methods.
