ES_APPM 420-2: Asymptotic and Perturbation Methods in Applied Mathematics

Description

Building on ES_APPM 420-1, this course covers advanced perturbation and asymptotic methods. They may include methods for ordinary differential equations (e.g. WKB method), for integrals (e.g. Laplace’s method, stationary phase, steepest descents), and for partial differential equations (multiple scales, subcharacteristics, initial layers, homogenization). Prerequisites: ES_APPM 420-1 or consent of instructor.
