Having taught a similar course several times, I realize how often the subject presents severe difficulties to students who, despite understanding concepts and examples, become stuck when tackling new problems on their own. This collection of problems, written in physical language and solved without skipping mathematical details, is ideally suited to cope with such troubles and, according to many students testimonials, it greatly contributes to alleviate the harshness of the matter.

Devoted to a detailed presentation of the solution of commonly encountered partial different equations, a widely useful topic in the natural sciences, this book should be useful to both theorists and experimentalists working on problems in physics, whether the focus is applied engineering topics or basic research.
Prof. Jacob Linder, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway
