[Thu Jan 21, Tue Jan 26, Thu Jan 28] Up to now I have been giving an introduction to conservation laws, covering some basic topics like method of characteristics, blow-up of classical solutions, need for weak solutions, Rankine-Hugoniot jump condition, non-uniqueness of weak solutions, need for entropy condition, parabolic conservation laws. Most of this material is covered in Evans' book, cf. Chapter 3.4 (in particular 3.4.1) and Chapter 11 (in particular 11.1.1, 11.4.2, 11.4.3).
