Beschreibung
Partial differential equations fall into several areas of mathematics:
many of the greatest advances in modern science have been based on
discovering the underlying
PDE for the process in question. In this book, the emphasis is on the
practical solution of problems rather than the theoretical background. An
introductory chapter
recaps the mathematical preliminaries required and exercises with
solutions are provided. With its companion volume, Analytic Methods for
Partial Differential
Equations, it provides a complete introduction to the subject.
