MAT 687 - Introduction to Partial Differential Equations


Credits 3

Method of separation of variables, Fourier series, divergence theorem and Green’s identities, equations of mathematical physics, initial and initial boundary value problems, well-posedness, heat conduction in a thin rod, vibrations of a string, Laplace’s equation, solution of the Dirichlet problem for a disc and for a rectangle.

Notes
This course is crosslisted with MATH 488. Credit at the 600-level requires additional work.

The 600-level MAT and STA courses that are normally available for graduate credit are those numbered 650 or higher; the exceptions are MAT 680, which may be counted for graduate credit in an education degree program, and STA 691, STA 693, and STA 695, which may be counted for graduate credit in a biological sciences program.
