Unpublished lecture notes:
In spring 2016 I taught a seminar course on singular solutions to elliptic PDEs and their approximation by standard and adaptive finite element methods. I provided the students with lecture notes as part of the course. These are included below. They are not highly edited and are distributed as-is.
