I, S. 41) über ausgewählte Kapitel in der Theorie der Randwertaufgaben der Differentialgleichungen: (I) The solution of certain functional equations. (II) Fundamental existence theorem for the ordinary differential equation. (III) The \textit{Cauchy-Kowalewski} existence theorem for the partial differential equation. (IV) Classification of the partial differential equations. (V) The boundary value problems of the equations of hyperbolic type. (VI) The potential equation. (VII) The equation \(\Delta u = f\). \textit{Green's} functions. (VIII) Doubly periodic solutions of the equation \(\Delta u = f\). (IX) The equation \(\Delta u = cu+ f\).
