    This document provides information about the MTH3011: Partial Differential Equations unit offered at Monash University in 2019, including the unit description, learning outcomes, assessment, and workload. The unit introduces students to partial differential equations (PDEs) and their role in mathematical modeling. Students will learn to solve first and second-order PDEs, understand properties of key PDEs like the diffusion and wave equations, and use numerical methods to evaluate solutions to PDEs using computers. Assessment consists of a 3-hour end of semester exam worth 60% and continuous assessment worth 40%.
