Publisher's Synopsis
An introductory treatment of Fourier series and their applications to boundary value problems in partial equations that arise in engineering and physics. This revision incorporates up-to-date mathematics. Many sections have been rewritten to improve the motivation of the theory, and numerous illustrations and exercises have been added throughout the book.;The new emphasis on solving boundary value problems with non-homogenous differential equations should benefit students who are faced with a wider range of physics and engineering problems than in the past. The introduction to the Sturm-Louisvill problems is motivated by several applications to boundary value problems.
