Publisher's Synopsis
Written for a first course in applied differential equations, this applied approach emphasizes techniques for solving partial differential equations found in physics and engineering, but also includes existence and uniqueness of solutions. Applications are stressed without sacrificing the theory. Alternative solutions and the advantages of each solution relative to the others are discussed whenever possible. Well-graded exercises are found at the end of every section and contain both straightforward problems that reinforce fundamentals and more difficult problems that challenge.;This book should be of interest to engineering, physics or maths undergraduates taking courses in partial differential equations.
