Partial Differential Equations: Analytical Solution Techniques (Texts in Applied Mathematics)

A broad treatment of important partial differential equations, particularly emphasizing the analytical techniques. In each chapter the author raises various questions concerning the particular equations discussed, treats different methods for tackling these equations, gives applications and examples, and concludes with a list of proposed problems and a relevant bibliography. This new edition has been substantially updated to take account of the new techniques available, making it valuable for students and researchers in mathematics, physics and engineering.

"This book contains a broad treatment of partial differential equations that arise in the sciences and engineering, particularly emphasizing the analytical solution techniques. In each chapter the author discusses the important applications that lead to the class of equations to be studied, presents different methods for tackling these equations, and concludes with a selection of instructive problems. A relevant bibliography has also been included at the end of this book."--BOOK JACKET. "Students and researchers in the sciences and engineering will find this book useful."--BOOK JACKET.
