Handbook of Linear Partial Differential Equations for Engineers and Scientists

- Includes nearly 4,000 linear partial differential equations (PDEs) with solutions

- Presents solutions of numerous problems relevant to heat and mass transfer, wave theory, hydrodynamics, aerodynamics, elasticity, acoustics, electrodynamics, diffraction theory, quantum mechanics, chemical engineering sciences, electrical engineering, and other fields

- Outlines basic methods for solving various problems in science and engineering

- Contains much more linear equations, problems, and solutions than any other book currently available

- Provides a database of test problems for numerical and approximate analytical methods for solving linear PDEs and systems of coupled PDEs

New to the Second Edition

- More than 700 pages with 1,500+ new first-, second-, third-, fourth-, and higher-order linear equations with solutions

- Systems of coupled PDEs with solutions

- Some analytical methods, including decomposition methods and their applications

- Symbolic and numerical methods for solving linear PDEs with Maple, Mathematica, and MATLAB®

- Many new problems, illustrative examples, tables, and figures

To accommodate different mathematical backgrounds, the authors avoid wherever possible the use of special terminology, outline some of the methods in a schematic, simplified manner, and arrange the material in increasing order of complexity.
