405, Mathematics Research Center Building (ori. New Math. Bldg.)

In this lecture, we shall introduce basic notions of Whitham modulation theory. The method will be illustrated by a simple example of derivation of Whitham equations for a modulated periodic wave which evolution is governed by linear Klein-Gordon equation. After that we shall proceed to derivation of Whitham equations for the KdV case.
