Leslie Smith Background and Goals:
This is the second semester in the standard sequence in applied analysis at the math department. This sequence is aimed to applied math majors and students in the sciences and engineering who need to have knowledge of analysis and its applications beyond the standard calculus sequence. A good introductory course in the study of partial differential equations and boundary value problems.
