Description for Partial Differential Equations
Hardback. Series: Mathematical Engineering. Num Pages: 258 pages, 57 black & white illustrations, 9 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PBKJ; PBWH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155. .
This monograph presents a graduate-level treatment of partial differential equations (PDEs) for engineers. The book begins with a review of the geometrical interpretation of systems of ODEs, the appearance of PDEs in engineering is motivated by the general form of balance laws in continuum physics. Four chapters are devoted to a detailed treatment of the single first-order PDE, including shock waves and genuinely non-linear models, with applications to traffic design and gas dynamics. The rest of the book deals with second-order equations. In the treatment of hyperbolic equations, geometric arguments are used whenever possible and the analogy with discrete vibrating systems ...

Reviews for Partial Differential Equations
“The book would be accessible to strong undergraduates with some multivariable calculus, basic linear algebra and ordinary differential equations. The author provides references at each stage to several of the standard texts, including those of Garabedian and John. This would be a good textbook for an introduction to PDEs or as a supplement to a more standard mathematical treatment.” (William ... Read more
