First-Order Partial Differential Equations: Theory and Application of Single Equations (International Srs in Physical Chemical Engineering Science)
FirstOrder Partial Differential Equations Theory and Application of Single Equations - International Srs in Physical Chemical Engineering Science Author:Hyun-Ku Rhee, Rutherford Aris, Neal R. Amundson This first volume of a highly regarded two-volume text is fully usable on its own. After going over some of the preliminaries, the authors discuss mathematical models that yield first-order partial differential equations; motivations, classifications, and some methods of solution; linear and semilinear equations; chromatographic equations with f... more »inite rate expressions; homogeneous and nonhomogeneous quasilinear equations; formation and propagation of shocks; conservation equations, weak solutions, and shock layers; nonlinear equations; and variational problems. Exercises appear at the end of most sections. This volume is geared to advanced undergraduates or first-year grad students with a sound understanding of calculus and elementary ordinary differential equations. 1986 edition. 189 black-and-white illustrations.
