contents We present FastLSQ, a framework for PDE solving and inverse problems built on trigonometric random Fourier features with exact analytical derivatives. Trigonometric features admit closed-form derivatives of any order in $\mathcal{O}(1)$, enabling graph-free operator assembly without autodiff. Linear PDEs: one least-squares call; nonlinear: Newton--Raphson reusing analytical assembly. On 17 PDEs (1--6D), FastLSQ achieves $10^{-7}$ in 0.07s (linear) and $10^{-8}$--$10^{-9}$ in $<$9s (nonlinear), orders of magnitude faster and more accurate than iterative PINNs. Analytical higher-order derivatives yield a differentiable digital twin; we demonstrate inverse problems (heat-source, coil recovery) and PDE discovery. Code: github.com/sulcantonin/FastLSQ and \texttt{pip install fastlsq}.
