Partial Differential Equations
Learn to account for and prove basic theorems on partial differential equations, especially the wave equation, the Laplace equation and the heat equation.
The course covers: Introduction to first order equations. The wave equation: equation in one or several space coordinates, Huygens’ principle. The Laplace equation: fundamental solutions, Green's function, Dirichlet problem, the maximum principle, Dirichlet's principle, introduction to Sobolev spaces. The heat equation: initial value problem, fundamental solutions, the maximum principle.
This course is given jointly by Stockholm University and KTH, and part of the course is given at KTH. More information can be found on the course web before the start of the semester, see link below.
