Partial Differential Equations 2. Summer semester 2020

Lecturer dr. Sebastian Schwarzacher

Assistant Claudiu Mîndrilă

EXAMINATION (added on the 18th of May 2020)

Last Wednesday at 14.15 there was the final lecture of the PDE II class. Links to the recordings will be sent via email.

The final exams we would like to do in Karlin in a large room, with you presenting at the blackbord and us asking questions from distance. I am not sure when and if everybody will be in Prague at some point. This should happen in the last week of June. A second possibility would be to schedule the exams for September. Only in case no other option is possible we can have an online exam.

Finally, we strongly recommend to use the free slots of discussions to consult with us about the final exam and what you should know there.

P.S. A reference to the parabolic maximum princples has beed added in the list with weekly recommended readings. (Week 10)

E-Lecture PDE II

Dear Students of PDE II,

we want you to be able to complete the course from the distance without too many troubles. For that we developed the following strategy:

1)The midterm is cancelled–50 Points will be distributed via homework. Another 50 Points will be distributed via the final exam.

2) The new weekly homework sheets are valid 4 points each. Every second one will be corrected by me. On each sheet we will write who to sent it to per email.

3) We offer to each of you (and we highly recommend to use this option) a weekly skype conference. The idea is that every second week you will discuss with Claudiu the homework sheets (for around 20 minutes) and in the weeks in between you will discuss with me the mathematics of the lecture (also for around 20 min). We want to keep in touch with you.

The weakly exercise sheets are below. They should be sent to schwarz@karlin.mff.cuni.cz or to mindrila@karlin.mff.cuni.cz,as it will be mentioned in the end of every sheet Please submit a .pdf file consisting of photos or typesetted in LaTeX . Write with a black pen for better visibility.
