Math 211: Applied Partial Differential Equations and Complex Variables (Fall 2010)

Mathematical methods for solving problems in linear partial differential equations: linear operators and adjoint problems, eigenfunction expansions, Fourier series, Sturm-Liouville problems, orthogonal functions and generalized Fourier series. Solutions via Green's functions. Complex variables for contour integrals and solutions via integral representations. Integral transforms: Fourier and Laplace transforms.
