NOTE: This course is aimed at students primarily interested in the applications of mathematics. To the extent possible, proofs should be replaced by intuitive explanations and plausible manipulations. Applications of the material should be given, at the very least, to heat conduction and Maxwell's equations. For example, one should explain how Maxwell equations lead to the wave equation for electromagnetic waves, and hence predict electromagnetic radiation.
