Differential Analysis: Course Description

Professor Richard Melrose teaches this graduate-level Mathematics course offered by MIT. 'Differential Analysis' is the first of a 2-part course series for students earning master's degrees in Mathematics. It is intended for those who have already taken a graduate-level class in Fourier analysis. The subject matter of the course centers on various types of differential operators. Topics of study include Fourier transforms, wave equations, homogeneous distributions and Hilbert space. Students will learn how to apply these topics to solving both practical and theoretical mathematics, physics and engineering problems.

Lecture notes are available for download, as well as homework problems with some solutions. If you're interested in taking the OpenCourseWare version of this class, visit the differential analysis course page.
