This is one of the core courses for entering graduate students in APS and PAOS. The aim is to review some of the basic applied mathematical tools most commonly used in astronomy, planetary and atmospheric sciences.
Probability and Statistics
The first 6 weeks or so of the course will be on Probability and Statistics. This is not one of the areas traditionally covered in this course, but many of us think it should be, so this is by way of an experiment.
Differential Equations
Following the successful format used by Ellen Zweibel, the remainder of the course will be on Differential Equations. Various topics will be covered as they are encountered: special functions, integral transforms, Sturm-Liouville theory, numerical methods.
