Important
Prerequisites for Math 603.02:
1. By the second week:
Know how to solve (a) a second order ordinary
differential equation with constant coefficients,
(b) Euler's homogeneous differential equation.
2. By the third week:
Know (a) the CAUCHY-GOURSAT integral
theorem,
(b) the RESIDUE of a complex function at a singularity,
(c)
CAUCHY'S INTEGRAL FORMULA
Look them up in a text on complex variables.
R.V. Churchill's "Complex Analysis and Aplications"
is a good possibility.
3. By the fifth week:
Know the "Basic Properties of a Sturm-Liouville
Eigenvalue Problem" (Section 3.3.3
in "Linear Mathematics in Infinite Dimensions").
In particular, you should know how to use Exercise 3.3.4 ("How to normalize
an eigenfunction")
