Contents

  • classical partial differential equations (Laplace equation, wave equation, heat equation)
  • distributions, fundamental solutions of differential operators, Sobolev spaces
  • weak solutions, boundary value problems for partial differential equations

Qualification Goals

The students shall

  • Learn about and be able to use differential equations as a means of mathematical modeling,
  • Apply results from functional analysis to the systematic theory of partial differential equations,
  • practice mathematical working methods (development of mathematical intuition and its formal justification, training of the ability to abstract, proof techniques),
  • improve their oral communication skills in the exercises by practicing free speech in front of an audience and during discussion.

Prerequisites

Translation is missing. Here is the German original:

Keine. Empfohlen werden die Kompetenzen, die in den Basismodulen Analysis und Lineare Algebra vermittelt werden, und Grundkenntnisse der Funktionalanalysis und Lebesgue-Integration.
