By: Material type: TextTextPublication details: Delhi : Cambridge University Press, 2010.Description: xxvii, 601 p. : ill. ; 26 cmISBN:
  • 9781107640412
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 515.353 23 P693
Contents:
1. Heat and diffusion-- 2. Waves and signals-- 3. Quantum mechanics-- 4. Linear partial differential equations-- 5. Classification of PDEs and problem types-- 6. Some functional analysis-- 7. Fourier sine series and cosine series-- 8. Real Fourier series and complex Fourier series-- 9. Multidimensional Fourier series-- 10. Proofs of the Fourier convergence theorems-- 11. Boundary value problems on a line segment-- 12. Boundary value problems on a square-- 13. Boundary value problems on a cube-- 14. Boundary value problems in polar coordinates-- 15. Eigenfunction methods on arbitrary domains-- 16. Separation of variables-- 17. Impulse-response methods-- 18. Applications of complex analysis-- 19. Fourier transforms-- 20. Fourier transform solutions to PDEs-- Appendixes-- References-- Indexes.
Summary: The book is ideal for students in mathematics and physics who require a more theoretical treatment than given in most introductory texts. Also designed with lecturers in mind, the fully modular presentation is easily adapted to a course of one-hour lectures, and a suggested 12-week syllabus is included to aid planning.
