The End
Extra literature
L. C. Evans:"Partial Differential Equations". –One of the most used standard texts today. Advanced.
W. Strauss: "Partial Differential Equations: an Introduction". –Clear and easy to read.
A. Tveito & R. Winther:" Introduction to Partial Differential Equations (A Computational Approach)". –An excellent, but very elementary, account.
S. Salsa: "Partial Differential Equations in Action". –Contains relevant information but is sometimes confusing.
Exam 30.XI.2015
The exam (written) is in English only. The students may answer in Norwegian or English. To the exam you are allowed to bring one A4-sized sheet of yellow paper on which you may write whatever you want in advance. It must be pre-stamped at the Department of Mathematics (SB II, 7th floor), where empty sheets can be acquired. (A simple calculator is permitted.) No other aids are permitted in the exam.
