Some prereq' material: (various file formats) cppk.ps cppk.pdf
This material will contain very elementary stuff (like SV calc) you are long familiar with. But I want it there so I can refer back to it. It will also contain hints at material that goes beyond the course and will not be asked from you (like manifolds and differential geometry). I want this to be there because it helps build your geometric intuition even in the case of plain (i.e., plane) vector analysis. In between, there is a quick review and introduction to the basic vector calculus stuff you need a lot in PDEs, both conceptually and calculationally.

On the Gamma and Beta functions and volume of n-balls: (various file formats) gammabetaball.dvi gammabetaball.pdf
This stuff is good to know in practice, even though it's not PDEs. But some calculations explained here have been used without proof in Ch.~2 of Evans' book.
