Synthetise advanced mathematical knowledge in the basic theory of fundamental PDEs.
Interpret the construction of `generalised functions' (distribution) and how it relates to modern notions of derivative and function spaces.
Synthetise techniques and properties of Fourier Analysis.
Apply sophisticated Fourier analysis methods to problems in PDEs and related fields.

Assessment summary
Examination (3 hours): 60% (Hurdle)
Continuous assessment: 40%
Hurdle requirement: If you would otherwise have passed the unit but who do not achieve at least 45% of the marks available for the end-of-semester examination will receive a Hurdle Fail (NH) grade and a mark of 45 on your transcript.
This unit is offered at both Level 4 and Level 5, differentiated by the level of the assessment. If you are enrolled in MTH5123 you will be expected to demonstrate a higher level of learning in this subject than those enrolled in MTH4123. The assignments and exam in this unit will use some common items from the MTH4123 assessment tasks, in combination with several higher level questions and tasks.
