History and philosophy of the course
Catalog Description
01:640:423. ELEMENTARY PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS (3)
Prerequisite: CALC4. Credit not given for both this course and 01:640:421.
Linear partial differential equations of mathematical physics (heat, wave, and Laplace's equation), separation of variables, Fourier series.
Textbook
Walter A. Strauss, Partial Differential Equations: An Introduction, John Wiley & Sons (1992).
Math 421 vs. Math 423: A comparison
These two courses are only superficially similar: 421 serves to introduce techniques needed by the Mechanical Engineering program while 423 is an introduction to the mathematics of partial differential equations.
Prerequisites
A study of Calculus through a course in Ordinary Differential Equations is expected.
