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.
