This course is the second half of "Methods of Applied Mathematics," the starting point for later topics in Applied Math. The basic goal os to develop basic techniques in solving partial differential equations, nonlinear problems, and an introduction. It also introduces students to applications from different areas of science. The only requirement are AM 33 and some basic calculus.

Professor Poje was fairly well-liked, garnering positive but not exceptional reviews. His real-world examples made the material easier to understand and learn, but some felt he went rather quickly through the topics. But, one person's "too fast" is another person's "efficient," as some described his teaching style. The class generally agreed that he was clear in his lectures, and obviously knew his stuff.

There were two midterms, one final and weekly homework. Most believed the homework was reasonable, but some thought it was relatively difficult. Most of the students spend four to six hours on homework, though some claimed it came rather easily for them.

This is a requirement for an Applied Math concentrator. Even though it is a lot of work, it is worth it and students were happy to have learnt as much as they had. Some noted that if you have to take this course, this is one of the best professors to have it with becasue he is more down to earth than most.
