Partial differential equations are the basis of all physical theorems. In the theory of
sound in gases, liquids and solids, in the investigation of elaticity, in optics,
everywhere partial differential equation formulate basic laws of nature which can be
checked against experiments.
Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann
Understanding the basics of partial differential equations is important due to its wide
applications in various spheres of not only physics and engineering but also in
economics and medicines. The objective of this course is to equip the students with
basic concepts of partial differential equations and various methods of their solution.
The course will also expose the students to various applications of the partial
differential equations.

This unit will engage social ethics in response to its impact on the developing
technologies of global societies. We will explore the idea that traditional concepts of
ethics insist that people in social relationships be treated as ends, in and of
themselves, and never as means to the ends of others. Since all technologies evolve
from our social relationships, no technology is value-free. Because of the valueladen nature of technological developments, new technologies are characteristically
defined as both socially-determinative and socially derived.

VII.1 Understanding Signals: The Mathematical and Computational way
When processing signals, such as audio, radio waves, light waves, seismic waves,
and even images, Fourier analysis can isolate individual components of a compound
waveform, concentrating them for easier detection and/or removal. A large family of
signal processing techniques consist of Fourier-transforming a signal, manipulating
the Fourier-transformed data in a simple way, and reversing the transformation.
Fourier analysis can be used to separate (or analyze) the telephone signal, to reveal
the two component tones and therefore which button was pressed.
Removal of unwanted frequencies from an audio recording Noise of audio recordings
to remove quiet background noise by eliminating Fourier components that do not
exceed a preset amplitude;
Image processing to remove periodic facts from interlaced video, stripe artifacts from
strip aerial photography, or wave patterns from radio frequency interference in a
digital camera;

Cesaro and Abel Summability, Fejer`s theorem, Poisson Kernel and Dirichlet
problem in the unit disc. Mean square Convergence, Example of Continuous
functions with divergent Fourier series. Riemann Lebesgue lemma, Fourier Inversion
Theorem, Fourier transforms of Gaussians. Tempered Distributions Applications to
