Peter Olver and Index

Peter Olver and his Books PhL 10.1.16 Background This guy is a math hot-shot now age 62 at U Minn. His father is WJ Olver involved in the NIST handbook who died in 2013. A whole family of math people. Wife is math too. Peter Olver did Brown then Harvard PhD 1976 from Birkhoff, at U Minn since 1980, or 36 years! Dept Head since 2008. His research interests revolve around the applications of symmetry and Lie groups to differential equations, and he has a book out on this topic. He has a CV online. 130 papers in refereed journals, and an additional 46 that appeared in conference proceedings. author of 5 books, including the definitive text on applications of Lie groups to differential equations My Interest Today 10.1.16 I discovered that he has the following notes online but not clickable from his website, http://www.math.umn.edu/~olver/am_ I downloaded all the files, here is what they are bvz Chapter 11: Boundary Value Problems in One Dimension fs Chapter 12: Fourier Series fa Chapter 13: Fourier Analysis hw Chapter 14: Vibration and Diffusion in 1D leq Chapter 15: The Planar Laplace Equation c Chapter 16: Complex Analysis hwy Chapter 17: Dynamics of Planar Media pdz Chapter 18: PDE's in 3D space ne Chapter 19: Nonlinear systems odz Chapter 20: Nonlinear ODEs cvz Chapter 21: Calculus of Variations npd Chapter 22: Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations ref References series Appendix C: Power Series and Special Functions three Appendix B: Vector Calculus in Three Dimensions two Appendix A: Vector Calculus in Two Dimensions odq Nonlinear ODE's with heading As if he had a book in progress in 2012, but this book does not exist anywhere online! Instead he has a brand new Sept 2016 test on Introduction to PDE's. This text has some chapters of the same names as above such as: Ch 3 Fourier Series Ch 12 above Ch 7 Fourier Transforms Ch 13 above similar maybe Ch 11 Dynamics of Planar Media Ch 17 above Ch 12 PDE's in Space Ch 18 above My interest in his notes is with Nonlinear ODE's, something that comes up in my Lagrange App D. I read some and thought they were good, then decided to locate the book, and then found there is no book, hence this little doc. Fact: Whatever this book he is working on with these 2012 notes is 1300+ pages long, because each page has a large page number. Very mysterious. He does have his copyright symbol on every page lower right.
