Math 556: Linear Analysis

Hart Smith

Spring 1999, MWF 2:30-3:20


The first half of the course will cover Fourier transforms and convolutions; time dependent PDE's and their numerical approximations; compact operators with application to integral equations; spectral theory of bounded linear operators with application to Sturm-Liouville problems. The second half of the course will cover distribution theory, following the text of Friedlander.
