Midterm: Wednesday, February 27 (in class)

The first midterm will cover material from Chapters 1-7 of the course textbook and any supplementary material covered in class.

Final: Thursday, May 2, 8:00-10:00 AM; East Hall 3836

Sample Problem to Do for the Final: Prove directly from the integral form of the solution, u(z), to the Dirichlet problem on the half-plane, G = {Im (z) > 0} that the maximum of u(z) is achieved on the boundary C= {Im (z) = 0}.

Assume that the function $g: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$, such that $u(x) = g(x)$ on the boundary, is bounded and non-negative.
