{\bf Text:}
Pinsky, \emph{Partial Differential Equations and
Boundary-Value Problems with
Applications}, Third Edition
\bigskip

\noindent
{\bf Syllabus:}
The material covered in the course will include
 the solution of the heat equation, 
wave equation and Laplace's equation by separation of 
variables, the theory of Fourier series, the Fourier transform
and its use in solving the heat equation and wave equation
in unbounded regions.   This material is in 
Chapters 0-2, 
3.1 and 5.1-5.3.

\bigskip

%\noindent
There will be weekly homework assignments, 
a project, a portfolio, a midterm and 
a final exam.  

The portfolio will contain selected problems from the homework
and exams, redone if necessary to be completely correct.  When your
portfolio is complete, it should give a clear picture of some of 
your major accomplishments in the course and why you consider these 
to be major accomplishments.  The final portfolio 
will be due Monday, December 6, but you will be expected to 
submit preliminary versions of at least part of it earlier.


The project will be due on Monday, November 22.
Suggestions for projects will be handed out in early October.  

The exams will be a combination of in-class
and take-home, with the take-home part due at the time of 
the in-class exam.  The midterm will be on Monday, October 11.
The final exam will be on Thursday, December 16 at 4:15.
\bigskip

\noindent
{\bf Honor Code:}
The Honor Code is in effect for all exams, assignments and projects.
 You are encouraged to work together on the assignments and projects,
but copying in any form or submitting work done by others as your own
is a violation of the Honor Code.

\bigskip

\noindent
{\bf Computers:}  Some of the assignments will require the use
of a computer algebra system, such as Maple or Mathematica.  Maple
will be used in classroom demonstrations.  You can find information
about Maple and Maple demonstrations on the course web site

http://www.nd.edu/$\sim$nancy/Math436/info.html

\noindent
Maple worksheets will also be in the afs course directory 

/usr/local/courses/math/math436.01

\noindent
{\bf Grading:} The homework and midterm will each count for 20\%
of your grade, the portfolio and project will each count for 15\%,
 and the final will count for 30\%.
