Math 675: Partial Differential Equations
Spring 2019 Graduate Course Syllabus
NJIT Academic Integrity Code: All Students should be aware that the Department of Mathematical Sciences takes the University Code on Academic Integrity at NJIT very seriously and enforces it strictly. This means that there must not be any forms of plagiarism, i.e., copying of homework, class projects, or lab assignments, or any form of cheating in quizzes and exams. Under the University Code on Academic Integrity, students are obligated to report any such activities to the Instructor.
Course Information
Course Description: This course is intended to provide a modern introduction to the theory of partial differential equations, based on the notion of weak solutions and to develop existence and regularity theory for several prototypical examples. Specifically, first order PDEs, as well as second order elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic PDEs will be discussed within appropriate functional settings.
Number of Credits: 3
Prerequisites: Math 690 or departmental approval.
