Course Objectives
Knowledge of mathematical methods that are widely used by researchers in the area of Applied Mathematics,
as Sobolev Spaces, distributions.
Application of this knowledge to a variety of topics, including the basic equations of mathematical physics
and some current research topics about linear and nonlinear partial differential equations.
