MATH 818.3: Special Topics in Applied Mathematics
The topics to be discussed will be related to recent developments in applied mathematics (numerical analysis, differential equations, mechanics, applied analysis, etc.) of interest to the instructor and students.
Weekly hours:
3 Lecture hours
Prerequisite(s): A graduate course in applied mathematics, or permission of the department.
Note: Students may take this course more than once for credit, provided the topic covered in each offering differs substantially. Students must consult the Department to ensure that the topics covered are different.
MATH 838.3: Methods of Applied Mathematics II
The course is devoted to classical topics in Applied Mathematics, including Integral equations, Theory of Distributions, Fourier Transforms, and Calculus of Variations. By the end of the course, students will be able to analyze modern mathematical models involving ordinary and partial differential equations and integral equations, and approach the solution from different points of view, building on knowledge of classical mathematical methods and hands-on practical experience gained in this course.
Weekly hours:
3 Lecture hours
Prerequisite(s): (MATH 331.3, MATH 339.3, MATH 371.3, and MATH 373.3), or equivalents as determined by the college, or permission of the instructor.
Note: Cannot receive credit for MATH 438.3 and MATH 838.3. Cannot receive credit for MATH 838.6 and MATH 838.3.
MATH 839.3: Methods of Applied Mathematics I
This course covers methods pertaining to the formulation and solution of problems involving linear and nonlinear Partial and Ordinary Differential Equations (PDE, ODE). Topics include: Linear equations of mathematical physics; Initial/boundary value problems; Bases of functions; Fourier series; Operators in function spaces; Separation of variables; Method of characteristics; Green’s functions; Traveling wave solutions. At the end of the term, students will be able to formulate complex mathematical models, and approach their solution from different points of view, building on knowledge of classical mathematical methods and hands-on practical experience gained in this course.
