MATH 405 Partial Differential Equations
This course covers the theory of initial and boundary value problems for linear parabolic, elliptic, and hyperbolic partial differential equations. Topics may include first order equations, second order equations, separation of variables, the Sturm-Liouville problem, transform methods, Green's functions, Fourier series, numerical methods and modeling applications.
Note: Students whose prerequisites are not identified by the system should contact the Math and Statistics department for an override at MATH@metrostate.edu.
