MTH 420 - Advanced Differential Equations

SP E
In a continuation of Ordinary Differential Equation, this course explores several additional methods for solving ODEs, including power series solutions and solutions to nonlinear equations, as well as solving systems of ODEs. The course then lays the foundation of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs), which play a central role in physics, acoustics and thermodynamics. Topics will include boundary value problems, Fourier series, the heat equation, the wave equation and Laplace’s Equation.
