Course info
Welcome to the PDE course. The learning objective of this course is to understand fundamental phenomena and techniques related to PDEs that are relevant in mathematics, physics and engineering.
The PDE course will be lectured in English. The course will be 12 weeks long and will run during teaching periods I-II. The tutorial sessions will start in the first week of lectures and will run every week. Homework assignments can be found on Assignments page.
Course practices will be discussed in the first lecture on Monday 5 September at 14.15-16.00. It is important to attend the first lecture even though information is also available in MyCourses. We have adopted a flipped classroom model for the course. The participants are expected to study the announced pages of the lecture notes before each lecture. There will be pre-lecture yes or no problems with deadlines at the beginning of each lecture (starting from the 2nd lecture week) . The exercise classes will be from Wednesday to Friday. In the exercise class, you can get help for solving homework problems. The solutions to homework problems are returned online.
This course has its own telegram-group, where students can ask questions from the teaching assistants.
Enrolment: Please sign in for the course in Sisu by choosing the tutorial session that you will attend. Group H01 will have remote meetings (3 first weeks meetings are hybrid so it is possible to come to the class room or participate using zoom. After that, the meetings are online only), groups H02-H04 will be on campus. If all the groups are full, send an email to the lecturer (Riikka Korte). Please check that this course is in your primary study plan.
Exams: There will be an exam on December 12, at 9.00-12:00. (Check Sisu for most reliable information.) It is possible to pass the course by taking only an exam ("tentti" 100%), but it different from the course exam ("loppukoe" 40%).
Grading: 50% course exam, 40% homework assignments and 10% pre-lecture assignments.
Instructor: Riikka Korte (riikka.korte@aalto.fi).
Head assistant: Timo Takala (timo.i.takala@aalto.fi) (group H01)
Assistants: Joona Lindell (joona.lindell@aalto.fi) (groups H02 and H03) and Teemu Tasanen (teemu.tasanen@aalto.fi) (group H04).
