# Math 7006: Partial Differential Equations

This is a graduate course on the qualitative study of partial differential equations posed on subsets of $n$-dimensional space. We first study four important linear partial differential equations in detail: the transport equation, Laplace’s equation, the heat equation, and the wave equation. Then we move on to the covering first order nonlinear partial differential equations, and various techniques to obtain and methods to represent solutions of the partial differential equations under investigation in the entire course. The techniques for solving the second-order equations will include finding fundamental solutions, Green’s functions, maximum principles, and energy methods. This plan amounts to covering the material from Chapters 1–4 of the text book.
