This is a WWW textbook written by Evans M. Harrell II and James V. Herod,
both of Georgia Tech. It is suitable for a first course on partial differential equations,
Fourier series and special functions, and integral equations. Students are expected
to have completed two years of calculus and an introduction to ordinary
differential equations and vector spaces. For recommended 10-week and
15-week syllabuses, read the
preface.


This text concentrates on mathematical concepts rather than on details of calculations,
which are often done with software, such as Maple or Mathematica.
It is not necessary to have experience
with
Maple or Mathematica
in order to read this text, nor is it the goal of this
text to teach software, but there are links in the text to
Maple worksheets and Mathematica notebooks, which perform calculations
and provide some supplementary instructive material. The supplementary
material exists both in a "flat" form, which can be read with Netscape, and
also in an active form, requiring mathematical software.


If you have access to mathematical software, you
may wish to take this opportunity to
set up the latest
version of Netscape to launch Mathematica or Maple automatically when appropriate.


You are welcome to browse, but if you make more than casual use, such as downloading
files or using them as study materials, certain restrictions and fees apply. Before
proceeding, please
