MATH-UA 263 Partial Differential Equations
4 points. Fall and Spring terms.
Course Description
Many laws of physics are formulated as partial differential equations. This course discusses the simplest examples, such as waves, diffusion, gravity, and static electricity. Non-linear conservation laws and the theory of shock waves are discussed. Further applications to physics, chemistry, biology, and population dynamics.
Prerequisites
A grade of C or higher in MATH-UA 262 Ordinary Differential Equations or MATH-UA 268 Honors Ordinary Differential Equations.
