DESCRIPTION

For most scientists and engineers, the only analytic technique for solving li near partial differential equations is separation of variables. In Transform Methods for Solving Partial Differential Equations, the author uses the powe r of complex variables to demonstrate how Laplace and Fourier transforms can be harnessed to solve many practical, everyday problems experienced by scientists a nd engineers. Unlike many mathematics texts, this book provides a step-by-step a nalysis of problems taken from scientific and engineering literature. Detailed s olutions are given in the back of the book. This essential text/reference draws from the latest literature on transform methods to provide in-depth discussions on the joint transform problem, the Cagniard-de Hoop method, and the Wiener-Hopf technique. Some 1,500 references are included as well.

AUDIENCE

Physicists, geophysicists, applied mathematicians, electrical engineers, mech anical engineers, and other scientists and engineers who use transform methods.
