Partial Differential Equations

Outline

MATH 316 is an introduction to partial differential equations including:

• analytical methods for ordinary differential equations

• power series solutions of linear equations

• Fourier series solutions of the heat, Laplace and wave equations

• finite difference methods for the heat, Laplace and wave equations

• boundary value problems and Sturm-Louiville theory
