Partial Differential

[mark_z]

Hi Guys, How important is partial differential equations to take before starting MSFE program, in top 12-14 programs? Would it hurt my application if I have not taken this class? Please let me know...best

I think the general rule is, the more math you take, the better you will be

Some programmes expect PDE/FDM exposure. The relevant courses here satisfy the requirements as they are closely aligned to computational finance. (student discounts)

I would assume that a fair number of top tier programs would expect you to know partial differential equations. Even if they weren't, it would still be a great idea to take it since the pace of these programs is fairly rapid and you don't want to get stuck or dumbfounded. Lastly, partial differential equations are incredibly fun and immensely useful for your career endeavours. Good luck.

PDE with pencil and paper is fun but the real fun/insight begins when your put it into a computer with C++.

Just like Johnny von Neumann, Euler and Laplace.

Your courses seems very interesting, and valuable, I think there is a bit more content in your courses than some of the C++ courses offered as pre MSFE.

I agree with you, the more exposure you have, the better, plus math is fun for the most part. Thanks!

A bit of nostalgia: the first job I got was modeling cathode ray tubes (nonlinear heat equation PDE with radiation) using finite element method (FEM) for next-generation TVs. Also semiconductor modeling and numerics.
