Partial Differential Equations (Ams/Ip Studies in Advanced Mathematics, V. 6)
Partial Differential Equations - Ams/Ip Studies in Advanced Mathematics, V. 6 Author:Harold Levine The subject matter, partial differential equations (PDEs), has a long history (dating from the 18th century) and an active contemporary phase. An early phase (with a separate focus on taut string vibrations and heat flow through solid bodies) stimulated developments of great importance for mathematical analysis, such as a wider concept... more » of functions and integration and the existence of trigonometric or Fourier series representations. The direct relevance of PDEs to all manner of mathematical, physical and technical problems continues. This book presents a reasonably broad introductory account of the subject, with due regard for analytical detail, applications and historical matters.« less
