Advanced Analytic Methods in Science and Engineering Advanced Analytic Methods in Science and Engineering is a comprehensive treatment of the advanced methods of applied mathematics. It was designed to strengthen the mathematical abilities of graduate students and train them to think on their own.Advanced Calculus for Engineers Differential equations, partial differential equations, Bessel and Legendre functions, and the Sturm-Liouville theory.Advanced Complexity Theory The topics for this course cover various aspects of complexity theory, such as the basic time and space classes, the polynomial-time hierarchy and the randomized classes . This is a pure theory class, so no applications were involved.Advanced Partial Differential Equations with Applications The focus of the course is the concepts and techniques for solving the partial differential equations (PDE) that permeate various scientific disciplines. The emphasis is on nonlinear PDE.
