	Dr. Sanjay Rai, interim vice president and provost of the Germantown Campus, will introduce his audience to partial differential equations (PDEs). Join us on Friday, November 6 at 2 p.m. in Room 208 Science East, Rockville Campus. Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) are fundamental to applied mathematics and have important applications ranging from the work of Fourier (1768-1830) on heat conduction to the Nobel prize-winning work of Merton and Scholes(1997), who in collaboration with Black further developed the Black-Scholes PDE(1973) for financial derivatives and option pricing. In this talk, the speaker will give a brief introduction to PDEs and explain a calculus-based method for solving some simple PDEs.
