This set of notes was written for the Tampere University of Technology's course 73131 Partial Differential Equations, which covers the basic theory and solution techniques for the partial differential equation problems most commonly encountered in science and engineering.
The symbolic computation program Maple V (release 4) is used throughout these notes to solve examples and, in some cases, to carry out some steps in proofs. The source code for all the examples is available by ftp. You can configure your Web browser to open these files with Maple.
The notes are available as Adobe Acrobat PDF files, for which free readers are available.
