This course can be taken either as a supervised reading paper or project or as a course on Advanced Topic in Non-linear PDEs.
Advanced Topics in Applied Mathematics: Nonlinear PDEs
A study of exact and numerical methods for non-linear partial differential equations. The focus will be on the kinds of phenomena which only occur for non-linear partial differential equations, such as blow up, shock waves, solitons and special travelling wave solutions.
