Module description:
Partial differential equations (PDEs) play a key role in physics, chemistry, engineering and finance. They can be used to describe many phenomena, such as wave motion, diffusion of gases, electromagnetism and the evolution of the prices of financial assets, to name just a few. In this module, we will investigate the most important classes of PDE, and look at the various techniques that can be used to solve them (accurately or approximately). We will consider both the underlying theory as well as applying this theory to realistic, applied problems.
