MTH 431 - Partial Differential Equations

For dynamical systems with a large number of state variables, their representation via Ordinary Differential Equations become unfeasible. This course lays the foundation of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs), which play a central role in physics, acoustic and thermodynamics. Topics will include boundary value problems, Fourier series, the heat equation, vibrations of continuous systems, the potential equation, and spectral methods.
