Some students have asked regarding a reference for the basic theory of ordinary differential equations. What is needed for this course is essentially covered in sections 2.1-2.4, of "Advanced Engineering Mathematics, sixth edition", by Kreyszig. You could also have a look at section 2.7 of the same book where they consider the Euler equation, which appeared in Example 1.3 of my lecture notes.

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.
