Elementary Applied Partial Differential Equations With Fourier Series and Boundary Value Problems

by Richard Haberman

A textbook suitable for courses covering such subjects as Fourier series, orthogonal functions, boundary value problems, Green's functions, transform methods, or advanced engineering mathematics and mathematical models in the physical sciences. Assumes a working knowledge of calculus and elementary differential equations. Emphasizes simple models such as heat flow, vibrating strings, and membranes; and formulates equations from physical principles; and offers physical interpretations of mathematical results. First published in 1983 and here revised only slightly from the 1987 edition. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Elementary Applied Partial Differential Equations: With Fourier Series And Boundary Value Problems

[Gavin Ridley · Rating 5 out of 5]

An excellent book on PDEs for engineers that doesn't sacrifice mathematical rigor in order to focus on solution techniques rather than proofs.

I think this would be a great supplement to competent in-person instruction. As a self-learning textbook, it’s lacking.
