Course objectives
Students will acquire techniques necessary for formulating and solving problems using partial differential equations in classical and modern setting. At the end of this course, students will be able to understand the structure and behaviour of the four fundamental linear equations of mathematical physics (Laplace's equation, Heat equation, Wave equation and transport equation) and the structure of nonlinear first order equations. Moreover students will acquire basic knowledge of Sobolev spaces and of modern technique of solution of the linear elliptic equation of second order.
