Abstract
Introduction to partial differential equations. Differential equations which are important in applications are classified and solved. Elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic differential equations are treated. The following mathematical tools are introduced: Laplace transforms, Fourier series, separation of variables, calculus of variation, methods of characteristics.
Objective
Mathematical treatment of problems in science and engineering. To understand the properties of the different types of partial differential equations.
