MATH-UA 263 Partial Differential Equations
4 points. Offered in the fall and the spring.
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
MATH-UA 262 Ordinary Differential Equations with a grade of C or better or the equivalent.
