Introduction to Partial Differential Equations for Scientists and Engineers Using Mathematica

by Kuzman Adzievski, Abul Hasan Siddiqi

Overview

With special emphasis on engineering and science applications, this textbook provides a mathematical introduction to the field of partial differential equations (PDEs). The text represents a new approach to PDEs at the undergraduate level by presenting computation as an integral part of the study of differential equations. The authors use the computer software Mathematica® along with graphics to improve understanding and interpretation of concepts. The book also presents solutions to selected examples as well as exercises in each chapter. Topics include Laplace and Fourier transforms as well as Sturm-Liuville Boundary Value Problems.

Editorial Reviews

"The presentation is simple and clear, with no sacrifice of rigor. Throughout the text, the illustrations, numerous solved examples and the use of Mathematica to visualize computations have been chosen to make the exposition as clear as possible. The book represents a good tool for facilitating the proper understanding of basic concepts and applications of PDEs."
