APMA 2821M - Some Mathematical Problems in Materials Science

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

We will study a variety of mathematical models for problems in materials science. Mainly we will consider models of phase transformation, static and dynamic. Some of the topics to be treated are: (1) models of phase transformation; (2) gradient flows; (3) kinetic theories of domain growth; (4) stochastic models; (5) free boundary problems. A working familiarity with partial differential equations is required.
