Mathematical Physics
PHYS 565 SP

Much of mathematical physics has grown from the need to solve ordinary and partial differential equations. The course will emphasize certain techniques that are employed for this purpose, including complex analysis, and Fourier and Laplace transforms. The course may be taken by juniors and seniors provided they secure the permission of the instructor.
