Partial Differential Equations with Fourier Series and Boundary Value Problems: Third Edition (Dover Books on Mathematics)

This text provides an introduction to partial differential equations and boundary value problems | including Fourier series. The treatment offers students a smooth transition from a course in elementary ordinary differential equations to more advanced topics in a first course in partial differential equations. This widely adopted and successful book also serves as a valuable reference for engineers and other professionals. The approach emphasizes applications | with particular stress on physics and engineering applications. Rich in proofs and examples | the treatment features many exercises in each section. Relevant Mathematica files are available for download from author Nakhlé Asmar's website; however | the book is completely usable without computer access. The Students' Solutions Manual can be downloaded for free from the Dover website | and the book includes information on how instructors may request the Instructor Solutions Manual. The text is suitable for undergraduates in mathematics | physics | engineering | and other fields who have completed a course in ordinary differential equations.
