Description for An Introduction to the Mathematical Theory of Waves
Paperback. Presents an overview of the concept of a wave, and describes one-dimensional waves using functions of two variables. This book also provides an introduction to partial differential equations, and discusses computer-aided visualization techniques. It discusses traveling waves, leading to a description of solitary waves. Series: Student Mathematical Library. Num Pages: 196 pages, illustrations. BIC Classification: PBW; PHV; TQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 217 x 141 x 12. Weight in Grams: 256.
This book is based on an undergraduate course taught at the IAS/Park City Mathematics Institute (Utah) on linear and nonlinear waves. The first part of the text overviews the concept of a wave, describes one-dimensional waves using functions of two variables, provides an introduction to partial differential equations, and discusses computer-aided visualization techniques. The second part of the book discusses traveling waves, leading to a description of solitary waves and soliton solutions of the Klein-Gordon and Korteweg-deVries equations. The wave equation is derived to model the small vibrations of a taut string, and solutions are constructed via d'Alembert's formula and ... Read more
