Overview of class

The course is a broad intro to the field of PDE and will follow the treatment of the book by Jeff Rauch (title: Partial Differential Equations). Topics will include: analytic solutions and Cauchy-Kovalevsky, Holmgren uniqueness; Fourier transform on tempered distributions; Sobolev spaces; solutions of Schroedinger, heat, and
wave equations by Fourier methods and via fundamental solutions; solution of the Dirichlet problem by variational methods. Grades will be based on problem sets and in-class presentations.
