• Instructor: Tristan Roy
• E-mail: tristanroy@math.nagoya-u.ac.jp
• Office hours:
• Text: Elements Of Partial Differential Equations, Drabek.
• Course Description: The goal of this lecture is to introduce some methods to solve linear and nonlinear PDEs. The topics that will be covered are the following: method of characteristic to solve first order quasilinear equations and general first order equations; fundamental solutions and Newton potential, Green functions and applications to boundary value problems; Fourier method for initial value problem on finite intervals.
• Grading: Some homework will be assigned. For each homework there will be a grade. More precisely, I will give grades S, A, B, C, or F. If you get two or more grades better than F, your final grade will be the best one of them.
