MATH 794 Special Topics in MATH
This is a course on the modeling of solitary waves, focusing on presenting
various models and analytical techniques and how these are related to
various areas of science and engineering. Emphasis is made on the
development of research skills related to problems involving nonlinear
dynamics. The basic elements of soliton theory are reviewed and
representative applications are discussed. The course consists of two parts:
the main concepts and methods for analysis of soliton theory are introduced
and then students apply the taught methodology in a specific problem of
their choice.
