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