Existence of Smooth Functions and Partition of Unity

Gives a proof o partition of unity in $R^n$ and uses it to prove that there exists a smooth map which is homotopic to any given continuous map. This corollary will be of use when we define concepts which are invariant under homotopy such as degree of a map or index of a loop.

An Overview of the Theory of Linear PDE

This is a Very Biased Overview of PDE and Rough List of Recurrent Themes in PDE. It was written as answer to a senior mathematician who just wanted a bird's eyeview of the subject. This was written almost 2 decades ago and but still relevant.

Fundamental Solutions for PDO with Constant Coefficients

The aims of these notes are (i) to exhibit fundamental solutions of some of the classical differential operators, (ii) to prove the local solvability of constant differential operators and (iii) to outline a short proof of Malgrange-Ehrenpreis Theorem which asserts the existence of fundamental solutions for such operators. While they serve the purpose of giving very explicit and concrete fundamental solutions of operators of mathematical physics, such as Laplace, Heat and Wave , they also provide a good introduction to some of the ubiquitous tricks of hard-analysis in general, and PDE in particular.
