Lecture plan

This is only a tentative plan and still subject to changes.

The chapter numbers refer to the 10th edition of Kreyszig (references to the 9th edition in parentheses if they are different).

The video lectures refer (approximately) to the video lecture from 2011. Note that the content of the video lecture differs slightly from mine (I did not cover complex Fourier series and the application of the Laplace transform to PDEs). Moreover I covered the topics in a different order (notably, I started with Fourier series and discussed PDEs before the Fourier transformation).
