Field of Study

Strong emphasis in numerical methods for solving problems.  Researched and studied Ordinary and Partial Differential Equations.  This includes an analysis of the stability of the differential equation and the stability of the numerical methods used to solve these equations.  This involved writing up projects where computers where used to test the theories on particular problems.

Studied Fourier Analysis and its application to solving Partial Differential Equations.

Graduate courses completed include math 201ABC (Real Analysis), math 243ABC (Ordinary Differential Equations), math 246ABC (Partial Differential Equations), and math206ABCD (Numerical Analysis).
