Synopsis
Boundary Value Problems, Fourth Edition, continues to be the leading text on boundary value problems and Fourier series. The author, David Powers, has written a thorough, theoretical overview of solving partial differential equations by the methods of separation of variables. The text is comprised of five comprehensive parts which include: a prerequisite summary of ordinary differential equations, Fourier series, and solving linear partial differential equations by separation of variable methods, by Laplace transform methods, and by numerical methods. Professors and students agree that the author is a master at creating linear problems that adroitly illustrate the techniques of separation of variables used to solve science and engineering problems.

Review
"One must always look at a text that is to have an appeal for engineering students to see if the mathematician/author has written the text too directed toward the mathematician's eye. The popularity of this text is evidence that the book strikes about the right intuitive note. Students have seen many of the problems in their engineering courses and find here a foundation in which those ideas from their engineering classes can be made more precise." -- James Herod, Georgia Tech
"A very readable book." -- Ron Perline, Drexel University
"The students will appreciate the complete working out of several examples and the graphs to illustrate solutions. Instructors will appreciate the multitude of theoretical and applied exercises from which to choose for assignments." -- Kathie Yerion, Gonzaga University
