Math 435 - Partial Differential Equations

Oh ma gawd this class was fun. It's especially useful for E&M.

Topics include separation of variables, separation of variables, and separation of variables.

A solid understanding of Differential Equations is required. Some Calc III is used in the course. Solutions focus on the heat equation, the wave equation, and Laplace's equation. The main technique used is separation of variables (derived in many different coordinate systems). Fourier series are covered in depth.

Tuvoc Phan - Started course by deriving the three most used PDE's. Homework sets are reasonable. Focuses on solving techniques but not their theoretical foundations. Released study guides before test. Test problems are nearly identical to HW and study guide problems.
