Tentative office hours:
Textbook: The course is based on Richard Melrose's lecture notes, especially Chapters 2, 5 and 6, and additional material supplied by the instructor. These include the introduction and the basic microlocal analysis part of the instructor's notes, though this course will be mostly closer to Melrose's notes. Volume 2, Chapter 7, of Michael Taylor's PDE book, and Volume 3, Chapter 18, of Hörmander's PDE book are additional references.
We cover pseudodifferential operators, their use in elliptic and hyperbolic partial differential equations, wave front sets, and various extensions of the theory.
Grading policy: There will be a few homeworks which must be handed in, but due to unavailability of graders, will not be graded carefully.
The homework will be due either in class or by noon in the instructor's mailbox on the designated day. You are allowed to discuss the homework with others in the class, but you must write up your homework solution by yourself. Thus, you should understand the solution, and be able to reproduce it yourself.
