Transform Methods for Solving Partial Differential Equations

For most scientists & engineers, the only analytic technique for solving linear partial differential equations is separation of variables. In Transform Methods for Solving Partial Differential Equations, the author uses the power of complex variables to demonstrate how Laplace & Fourier transforms can be harnessed to solve many practical, everyday problems experienced by scientists & engineers. Unlike many mathematics texts, this book provides a step-by-step analysis of problems taken from scientific & engineering literature. Detailed solutions 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, & the Wiener-Hopf technique. Some 1,500 references are included as well.Duffy, Dean G. is the author of 'Transform Methods for Solving Partial Differential Equations', published 1994 under ISBN 9780849373749 and ISBN 0849373743.
