No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1989–90 to 1994–95; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
First order partial differential equations and characteristic curves. Second order linear partial differential equations, primarily in two variables: physical origins; classification into hyperbolic, parabolic and elliptic equations; the Cauchy initial value problem and characteristic curves. Derivation and analysis of solutions of the wave equation, heat equation and Laplace's equation, separation of variables and eigenfunction expansions; Fourier integrals; d'Alembert's solution and the propagation of waves; maximum principle for harmonic functions. Introduction to systems of partial differential equations, hyperbolic systems, reduction to canonical form. Formerly AM 371
As printed in the 1989–90 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.
