Beginning Partial Differential Equations, 3rd Edition
ISBN: 978-1-118-62998-7
May 2014
456 pages
A broad introduction to PDEs with an emphasis on specialized topics and applications occurring in a variety of fields
Featuring a thoroughly revised presentation of topics, Beginning Partial Differential Equations, Third Edition provides a challenging, yet accessible, combination of techniques, applications, and introductory theory on the subject of partial differential equations. The new edition offers nonstandard coverage on material including Burgers’ equation, the telegraph equation, damped wave motion, and the use of characteristics to solve nonhomogeneous problems.
The Third Edition is organized around four themes: methods of solution for initial-boundary value problems; applications of partial differential equations; existence and properties of solutions; and the use of software to experiment with graphics and carry out computations. With a primary focus on wave and diffusion processes, Beginning Partial Differential Equations, Third Edition also includes:
Beginning Partial Differential Equations, Third Edition is an ideal textbook for upper-undergraduate and first-year graduate-level courses in analysis and applied mathematics, science, and engineering.
