Robert McOwen: Worldwide Differential Equations
Robert McOwen received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from UC Berkeley in 1978. After a one-year AMS-NSF postdoctoral fellowship that he took at the Courant Institute at NYU, he joined the Math Department at Northeastern University in Boston. Since then, he has taught many courses in analysis and differential equations at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. In 1996 he published a graduate-level textbook in partial differential equations; the second edition was published in 2003 and is still in use by many mathematics departments around the world. In 1997 he wrote a series of computer labs to accompany an undergraduate course in ordinary differential equations, which were packaged by the Publisher with the textbook and used for many years by all sections of the course at Northeastern. He continues to teach graduate and undergraduate courses in analysis and differential equations, and conducts research into the theory of partial differential equations.
