Special topics course on Potential Theory offered by Doron Lubinsky in Fall 2016

Prerequisites: 

MATH 6337

Course Text: 

A full set of typed notes will be available to students.

Topic Outline: 

Potential theory is a tool that useful in many areas, including complex analysis, partial differential equations, approximation theory, numerical analysis, and
integral equations. We’ll study potential theory mainly in the complex plane, but occassionally in higher dimensions. We’ll examine energy integrals, logarithmic and other potentials, solutions to certain p.d.e’s, and some applications to polynomials and complex analysis.
