Presenting a rich collection of exercises on partial differential equations, this textbook equips readers with 96 examples, 222 exercises, and 289 problems complete with detailed solutions or hints. It explores a broad spectrum of partial differential equations, fundamental to mathematically oriented scientific fields, from physics and engineering to differential geometry and variational calculus.
Organized thoughtfully into seven chapters, the journey begins with fundamental problems in the realm of PDEs. Readers progress through first and second-order equations, wave and heat equations, and finally, the Laplace equation. The text adopts a highly readable and mathematically solid format, ensuring concepts are introduced with clarity and organization.
Designed to cater to upper undergraduate and graduate students, this book offers a comprehensive understanding of partial differential equations. Researchers and practitioners seeking to strengthen their problem-solvingskills will also find this exercise collection both challenging and beneficial.
