Appropriate for an elementary undergraduate first course of varying lengths. Its in-depth elementary presentation is intended primarily for students in science, engineering, and applied mathematics.Emphasizing the physical interpretation of mathematical solutions, this book introduces applied mathematics while presenting partial differential equations

From the Publisher:

This text is designed for engineers, scientists, and mathematicians with a background in elementary ordinary differential equations and calculus.

From the Back Cover:

Emphasizing physical interpretations of mathematical solutions, this book introduces applied mathematics and presents partial differential equations. Leading readers from simple exercises through increasingly powerful mathematical techniques, this book discusses hear flow and vibrating strings and membranes, for a better understand of the relationship between mathematics and physical problems. It also emphasizes problem solving and provides a thorough approach to solutions. The third edition of , Elementary Applied Partial Differential Equations; With Fourier Series and Boundary Value Problems has been revised to include a new chapter covering dispersive waves. It also includes new sections covering fluid flow past a circular cylinder; reflection and refraction of light and sound waves; the finite element method; partial differential equations with spherical geometry; eigenvalue problems with a continuous and discrete spectrum; and first-order nonlinear partial differential equations. An essential reference for any technical or mathematics professional.
