(Kurskod på GU: MAN665.)
This course is a continuation of TMA372 (TMA690) Partial Differential Equations and treats more deeply the theory of elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic partial differential equations, as well as numerical methods and applications in engineering and physics.
The course is suitable for students in the TM programme of Chalmers, undergraduate students in mathematics of the Göteborg University, and graduate students in applied subjects at Chalmers.
Contents
Existence and regularity of solutions of linear ordinary differential
equations and linear elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic partial
differential equations. The maximum principle. Finite element and
finite difference methods. Error estimates. Applications to heat
conduction, wave propagation, convection-diffusion, reaction-diffusion,
neutron transport.
Preparations
It is recommended that the students have taken
TMA372
(or
TMA690)
Partial Differential Equations and
TMA401
Functional Analysis,
but this is not absolutely necessary.

The book is available at the Cremona bookshop.
Note: the Cremona bookshop has made some mistake and they don't have the book. I suggest that you order it from some internet bookshop instead. In the meantime I give you the first chapters here.
Examination
The examination is based on homework assignments and a written exam at
a date to be decided.
Written exam: Tuesday October 24, e V (14.00-18.00 in the V-building)
