self-adjointness, eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. Sturm-Liouville
Problems.
Applications to simple PDE's

Partial differential equations

Examples and modelling
Wave equations, D'Alembert formula, characteristics and
boundary value problems, spherical waves, solutions in two
and three dimensions
The Laplace and heat equations
Simple techniques for calculating explicit solutions; separation of
variables.

Distributions

Introduction, examples and applications.
