Text: Elementary Applied Partial Differential Equations, by Richard Haberman and classnotes. 

Brief description: This is an advanced undergraduate course that focus on methods related to concepts from classical and modern applied mathematics are introduced. Models include systems of linear and some non-linear equations related to mathematical physics, such as eigen-value problems, initial and boundary value problems for partial differential equations. Topics include fundamental and generalized solutions in Hilbert spaces, Fourier and Laplace transform methods for PDEs, first order quasilinear problems, dispersive waves, scaling solutions, group velocity and the method of stationary phase, stability and instability analysis.

Prerequisites: M427K,M408M and one of M341, M311 or M340L or M346, all with grades of at least C. We recommend M372K or M374 or M374K, if M346 has not been taken.
