Partial Differential Equations for Scientists and Engineers
Partial Differential Equations for Scientists and Engineers by Stanley J. Farlow is one of Dover's most extensively used textbooks.
Most physical phenomena, whether in fluid dynamics, electricity, magnetism, mechanics, optics, or heat transport, may be generalized using partial differential equations. Such equations are essential in mathematical physics. Although these equations can be simplified to become ordinary differential equations, the comprehensive description of physical systems is found in the general topic of partial differential equations.
Partial Differential Equations for Scientists and Engineers really useful text demonstrates how to formulate a partial differential equation from a physical situation (building the mathematical model) and solve the equation (along with initial and boundary conditions). This well written book provides realistic, practical coverage of diffusion-type problems, hyperbolic-type problems, elliptic-type problems, and numerical and approximate approaches for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as professionals working in the applied sciences. Each chapter includes a selection of relevant problems (with solutions) and ideas for further study. It is considered one of the best books on differential equations.
