Synopsis

This graduate-level, self-contained text addresses the basic and characteristic properties of linear differential operators, examining ideas and concepts and their interrelations rather than mere manipulation of formulae. Written at an advanced level, the text requires no specific knowledge beyond the usual introductory courses, and some 350 problems and their solutions are included.

About this title

Review

'This scholarly volume describes Lanczos' life (1893–1974) and presents a clear development of the many fields he opened. ... a collection of seven photographs of Lanczos from 1910 to 1972 ... is followed by a fascinating twenty-eight page annotated story, 'Cornelius Lanczos: A Biographical Essay', by Barbara Gellai. The fortuitous inclusion of this excellent biography makes the Proceedings a more complete and desirable volume!' Mathematics of Computation

Book Description

If you are interested in numerical analysis, applied mathematics, or the solution procedures for differential equations, you will find this book useful. Because of Lanczos' style of describing mathematical facts in nonmathematical language, Linear Differential Operators also will be helpful to nonmathematicians interested in applying the methods and techniques described.
