Abstract

A comprehensive treatment of the theory of partial differential equations (pde) from an applied mathematics perspective. Equilibrium, propagation, diffusion, and other phenomena. Initial and boundary value problems. Transform methods, eigenvalue and eigenfunction expansions, Green's functions. Theory of characteristics and shocks. Boundary layers and other singular perturbation phenomena. Elementary concepts for the numerical solution of pde's. Illustrative examples from fluid dynamics, nonlinear waves, geometrical optics, and other applications.
