Course Overview
The Partial Differential Equations – I course by Swayam is the first course in a two-part course series. There will be around 20 hours of online learning spread over eight weeks. You will build a robust foundation on Partial Differential Equations or PDE over the course duration.
Through the Partial Differential Equations – I certification course, you will learn the geometry and analysis behind the core PDE concepts. And move beyond the problem-solving techniques to understand PDE theories in-depth. However, it will primarily focus on classical geometry and calculus variables.
The Partial Differential Equations – I course will first introduce you to the scope of the PDE study, followed by methods of characteristics, multi-variables, and classification in First Order equations. There will also be weekly assignments to help you test your progress.
The intended audience for the Partial Differential Equations – I programme are students and teachers belonging to the Mathematics, Science, and Engineering disciplines. However, this online course is still open to all interested candidates, irrespective of their background.

Eligibility Criteria
Basic knowledge of Multivariable, Linear Algebra, and Ordinary Differential Equations will be necessary to participate in the Partial Differential Equations – I online course.
Besides, there are two marks criteria you need to qualify for receiving the course certificate. Your proctored exam score has to be >= 30/75, while your average assignment marks should be >= 10/25.
There will also be a final score. Swayam will use 25% of the average marks you secure in the top 6 out of 8 assignments to evaluate the average assignment score. And add it to 75% of your proctored exam marks to calculate the final score. However, your final score must be either 40/100 or more if you want the Partial Differential Equations – I certificate.
What you will learn
Because Partial Differential Equations – I course is a foundational course, you can comprehensively learn PDE fundamental concepts and techniques. These include:
- Fundamentals of PDE
- ID Heat Equation
- Laplace & Poisson Equations
- ID wave equation
- PDE Method of Characteristics
- First Order Equations
