Excerpt from Introduction to the Mathematical Theory of the Conduction of Heat in Solids
This second volume could not have appeared so soon after the first had I not been privileged to spend this year on leave of absence from the University of Sydney in my old College at Cambridge. For the facilities so fully granted to me there I take this opportunity of expressing my heartfelt thanks.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the mathematical theory of heat conduction and its application to the temperature distribution within solids. It explores the temperature variations in solids and the rate at which heat flows through them. The author begins by laying the foundational theory including the equation of conduction, thermal conductivity, and the different ways to express these equations depending on the coordinate system. These theories are then applied to specific scenarios, particularly when the temperature varies only with one spatial coordinate and time. This type of heat flow is commonly found in long, thin objects. The author examines different methods for solving the equation of conduction and uses these to solve problems involving solids with various initial and boundary temperature conditions. Through these examples, the author highlights how the mathematical theory of heat conduction provides valuable insights for comprehending and predicting heat distribution in solids.
