Time and Room

The lecture will take place at 8-10a.m. on Monday in HG E5. The first lecture will be on 25.09.

For the exercise classes, see the section Exercise classes.

There will be Q&A sessions during the semester, see the section Q&A session.

Abstract

In this lecture we treat problems in applied analysis. The focus lies on the simplest cases of three fundamental types of partial differential equations of second order: the Laplace equation, the heat equation and the wave equation.

Prerequisites

Analysis I and II, Fourier series(Komplexe Analysis)
