MATH 3840 - Partial Differential Equations 3 s.h.

The core of the course is formed by the derivation of parabolic, elliptic, and hyperbolic partial differential equation models from physical principles, followed by the mathematical theory of Fourier series and the examination of an extensive array of common boundary conditions. Additional topics include general orthogonal function expansions; Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problems; Rayleigh quotients; and an introduction to finite difference methods. A-E Only.
