Boundary Value Problems for Linear Partial Differential Equations Hardback

Boundary value problems play a significant role in modeling systems characterized by established conditions at their boundaries.

On the other hand, initial value problems hold paramount importance in comprehending dynamic processes and foreseeing future behaviors.

The fusion of these two types of problems yields profound insights into the intricacies of the conduct exhibited by many physical and mathematical systems regulated by linear partial differential equations. Boundary Value Problems for Linear Partial Differential Equations provides students with the opportunity to understand and exercise the benefits of this fusion, equipping them with realistic, practical tools to study solvable linear models of electromagnetism, fluid dynamics, geophysics, optics, thermodynamics and specifically, quantum mechanics.

Emphasis is devoted to motivating the use of these methods by means of concrete examples taken from physical models. FeaturesNo prerequisites apart from knowledge of differential and integral calculus and ordinary differential equations. Provides students with practical tools and applicationsContains numerous examples and exercises to help readers understand the concepts discussed in the book.
