The first lecture will be Wednesday January 21. The time for the extercises on Friday January 23 will be used for an ordinary lecture. We will cover the beginning of Chapter 2 in the book.
In the lectures we have basically covered all the chapter of the book except Chapter 12. You are not expected to have detailed knowledge of Chapter 10 and Sections 2.2.3, 2.2.4, and 7.6.
I have got some comments from some of you that you find it difficult to show the proper counter example asked for in Problem 8, i.e., to show that the maximum principle does not hold. As a hint: Just consider the case when n=1, i.e., there is only one interior point. Then you can do the calculation of v_1^1 by hand.
The first mandatory exercise consists of Project 2.1 and Exercise 2.30 from the book.
Misprints: In Project 2.1 in the formulas for alpha and beta th efraction h/2 should be h/4. In addition, the extra ( in the formula for beta should be removed.
