Description for Partial Differential Equations: Analytical and Numerical Methods, Second Edition
Hardcover. A fresh, forward-looking undergraduate textbook that treats the finite element method and classical Fourier series method with equal emphasis. Num Pages: 674 pages, 150 b/w illus. BIC Classification: PBKJ; PBW. Category: (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 260 x 183 x 22. Weight in Grams: 1354.
Undergraduate courses on partial differential equations (PDEs) have traditionally been based on the Fourier series method for analysing and solving PDEs. What this textbook offers is a fresh approach; the traditional method taught alongside the modern finite element method. Both powerful methods are introduced to the reader and emphasised equally. A further beneficial feature of the book is that it uses the language of linear algebra, in particular in emphasising the role of best approximation in function spaces and the idea of an eigenfunction expansion. Its inclusion of realistic physical experiments for many examples and exercises will make the book ... Read more

'I love this book and look forward to using it as a text in the future … It's the first truly modern approach that I've seen in a PDE text.' Maeve McCarthy, MAA Online
