Solving Ordinary and Partial Boundary Value Problems in Science and Engineering

This book provides an elementary, accessible introduction for engineers and scientists to the concepts of ordinary and partial boundary value problems, acquainting readers with fundamental properties and with efficient methods of constructing solutions or satisfactory approximations.

Discussions include:

• ordinary differential equations
• classical theory of partial differential equations
• Laplace and Poisson equations
• heat equation
• variational methods of solution of corresponding boundary value...
