Classical theory of Partial Differential Equations & The Scalar Conservation Law

Mohamed MBEHOU

Summary: These notes are intended for first-year Master students. After having strengthened their knowledge on ordinary differential equations, students get in touch with partial differential equations and some of the methods and problems related to them. At the same time, it is hoped to strengthen the knowledge and skills of students in mathematical analysis. Learning basics techniques to solve first and second-order PDEs.

Integrable systems

Maciej Dunajski

Summary: Integrable systems are nonlinear differential equations which ‘in principle’ can be solved analytically. This means that the solution can be reduced to a finite number of algebraic operations and integrations. Such systems are very rare - most nonlinear differential equations admit chaotic behaviour and no explicit solutions can be written down. Integrable systems nevertheless lead to a very interesting mathematics ranging from differential geometry and complex analysis to quantum field theory and fluid dynamics.
