Program BS Mathematics

Credit Hours 3

Duration 16 Weeks
Course Introduction:
Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) are at the heart of applied mathematics and many other
scientific disciplines.

Course Objectives:
After learning this course, students will be able to:
 Understand First order PDEs
 Have an idea about Second order PDEs
 Analyze Methods of separation of variables
 Identify Laplace transforms
 Describe Fourier transforms

Learning Outcomes:
After learning this course, students will be able to understand:
 Formation of pdes
 Basic concepts and definitions,
 Linear operators,
 Superposition,
 Canonical forms and variable,
 Inverse Laplace transform,
 Finite Fourier transforms,
 Solutions of heat,

Violation of Academic Honesty Policy:


If any two projects / assignments are identical or partially identical, a zero will be awarded. The
repetition of such kind may lead to an “F” grade in the course.

How to Keep Your Professor Happy:


Class attendance is mandatory. You may miss up to 6 class sessions for 3 credit hour course and
8 class sessions for 4 credit hour course. On the seventh/ninth absence respectively, you will be
withdrawn from the course. As a courtesy to the instructor and other students, be prepared to
arrive at class and be in your seat on time. In addition, please note that each class lasts for 90
minutes.
Also keep in mind some general rules as given below:
 Cell phones should be powered off
 Eatables are not allowed in the class
 The teacher will not tolerate any disruptive behavior in the class
 The Dress Code has to be observed, no warnings will be given, and violators will be
asked politely to leave the class and consequently will be marked absent

Participation:
Students are required to attend all classes and read all the assigned material in advance of class
(although not necessarily with perfect comprehension). Advanced preparation and class
participation are crucial for periods in which we discuss cases. During discussion sessions, the
instructor generally keeps track of the insightful and useful comments students make. (Any
unproductive contribution is not rewarded)
