MATH 372 - Partial Differential Equations

2020-2021 Catalog Year

Credit(s): 3
Lecture: 3
Non-Lecture: 0
An introduction to those equations which play a central role in many problems in applied math and in physical and engineering sciences. Topics include first-order equations, the most useful second-order equations (e.g. the Laplace, wave and diffusion equations), and some methods for solving such equations, including numerical techniques. Modeling for the motion of a vibrating string and conduction of heat in a solid body are emphasized.

Prerequisite(s): MATH 326.
Offered: Fall Semester - Even Years
