Our understanding of the fundamental processes of the naturalworld is based to a large extent on partial differential equations(PDEs). The second edition of Partial Differential Equationsprovides an introduction to the basic properties of PDEs andthe ideas and techniques that have proven useful in analyzingthem. It provides the student a broad perspective on thesubject, illustrates the incredibly rich variety of phenomenaencompassed by it, and imparts a working knowledge of the mostimportant techniques of analysis of the solutions of theequations. In this book mathematical jargon isminimized. Our focus is on the three most classical PDEs: thewave, heat and Laplace equations. Advanced concepts areintroduced frequently but with the least possibletechnicalities. The book is flexibly designed for juniors,seniors or beginning graduate students in science, engineering ormathematics.weiterlesen
