This book is designed as an advanced undergraduate or a first-year graduate
course for students from various disciplines like applied mathematics,
physics, engineering.
The main purpose is on the one hand to train the students to appreciate the
interplay between theory and modelling in problems arising in the applied
sciences; on the other hand to give them a solid theoretical background for
numerical methods, such as finite elements.
Accordingly, this textbook is divided into two parts.
The first one has a rather elementary character with the goal of
developing and studying basic problems from the macro-areas of diffusion,
propagation and transport, waves and vibrations. Ideas and connections with
concrete aspects are emphasized whenever possible, in order to provide
intuition and feeling for the subject.
For this part, a knowledge of advanced calculus and ordinary differential
equations is required. Also, the repeated use of the method of separation of
variables assumes some basic results from the theory of Fourier series,
which are summarized in an appendix.
The main topic of the second part is the
development of Hilbert space methods for the variational formulation and
analysis of linear boundary and initial-boundary value problems\emph{. }%
Given the abstract nature of these chapters, an effort has been made to
provide intuition and motivation for the various concepts and results.
The understanding of these topics requires some basic knowledge of Lebesgue
measure and integration, summarized in another appendix.
At the end of each chapter, a number of exercises at different level of
complexity is included. The most demanding problems are supplied with
answers or hints.
The exposition if flexible enough to allow substantial changes without
compromising the comprehension and to facilitate a selection of topics for a
one or two semester course.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to WeBuyBooks, Rossendale, LANCS, United Kingdom, +44 01706227207, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
Shipping terms
Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 LB, or 1 KG. If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required.
