Synopsis

An introduction to hyperbolic PDEs and a class of numerical methods for approximating their solution, including both linear problems and nonlinear conservation laws.

About this title

Review

'It is moreover advantageous that the algorithms presented are public and easily available via the web-page cited. Similar to the book of R. J. LeVeque titled Numerical Methods for Conservation Laws, this manuscript will certainly become a part of the standard literature in the field of numerical methods for hyperbolic partial differential equations.' Journal of Applied Mathematics and Physics

'The text is very well written and can serve for self-study as well as an accompanying text book for teaching purposes ... a very sound and comprehensive introduction into hyperbolic problems and their numerical treatment.' Zentralblatt MATH

Book Description

This book, first published in 2002, contains an introduction to hyperbolic partial differential equations and a powerful class of numerical methods for approximating their solution, including both linear problems and nonlinear conservation laws. This provides an excellent learning environment for understanding wave propagation phenomena and finite volume methods.
