The Second volume of Lecture Series in Differential Equations consists of the proceedings of the session sponsored by the consortium of Universities in Washington, D.C. during 1966-67. In this volume the lectures are devoted to Differential Equations of Mathematical Physics, Differential Equations in Banach Spaces, Stochastic Differential Equations, and Numerical Solutions.
Each lecture is devoted to an active basic area of contemporary theory of differential equations. It presents a survey and a critical review of certain aspects of the area, with emphasis on new results, open problems, and important applications. The material will be of interest not only to the student working in these areas, but also to the professional mathematician and scientist who seeks to gain a perspective of current work.
The eleven contributors to this volume are all recognized specialists in their particular areas. The sum of their lectures represents a broad picture of the work presently occurring in these important areas.
