-Good kernels and Cesaro and Abel summability. Pages 48-56 in [Stein & Shakarchi, Fourier analysis: An introduction]

-A continuous function with a diverging Fourier series. Pages 83-87 in [Stein & Shakarchi, Fourier analysis: An introduction].

-The hydrogen atom. Section 9.5 in [Strauss, Partial differential equations: an introduction].

-Vibrations of a drumhead. Section 10.2 in [Strauss, Partial differential equations: an introduction].

-Shock waves. Section 14.1 in [Strauss, Partial differential equations: an introduction].

You are to prepare a 30-45 minute presentation on one of these topics. The presentations can be done in groups up to two persons.

Please notify me by 29 of June which topic you would like, either via email or during the lectures. The topics will be distributed on a first come first serve basis.

The presentations can be done either on the blackboard or by preparing lecture slides and using a projector. In either case, please send the lecture notes of your talk to me and Dan in advance of your presentation so that you can get feedback on them. The presentations are planned to be held in the period 11-15 of July.

It is compulsory to give presentation and attend all the other presentations in order to qualify for the exam.

Please send an email to me or Dan should you have any questions.

Partial Differential Equations 1

This course serves as an introduction to linear partial differential equations. The main focus will be on the canonical examples of linear PDE's, namely Laplace's equation, the wave equation and the heat equation. Additionally the course contains introductions to Fourier analysis and distribution theory, tools which are important for studying PDE's.

The lectures will take place on Mondays 12:00-14:00 and Wednesdays 14:00-16:00 in Hörsaal 4. The first lecture will be on 11.04.2022.

The tutorials will take place on Thursdays 14:00-16:00 in Seminarraum 4 E2.5. The first tutorial will be on 28.04.2022.

Under materials you can find a sheet with general information about the course.

The registration for the course will be open during the period 04.04.2022-22.04.2022.
