We will be talking about various advanced topics in PDE. The plan for this semester is to begin with some basic background material on PDE and then discuss viscosity solutions for second order PDE. Later in this semester or next semester, we plan to cover microlocal analysis and the renormalization group approach to perturbation theory. For more information, contact Jeff Calder (jcalder@).
