Learning objectives

The aims of the course are: a) application of the theory of functions of one complex variable to the calculation of generalized integrals and numerical series; b)studies on some integral transforms and their application; c) a study on some problems connected with
the classical PDEs commonly indicated as "Differential equations of Mathematical Physics" (potential equation, heat equation, wave equation, etc.)
