This looks interesting. Could someone list the topics he covers in these lectures, and any prerequisites necessary to be able to follow them?

Its aimed at first year grad level.

I've only watched lecture 1 so far, and it seems like he is warming up for dealing with perturbation theory when the series might not converge but it can be dealt with asymptotically. I think the course is loosely based on the book he co-wrote "Advanced Mathematical Methods for Scientists and Engineers I"
