Boundary and Eigenvalue Problems in Mathematical Physics

This well-known advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level text uses a few basic concepts - Hamilton's principle, the theory of the first variation and Bernoulli's separation method - to solve and develop complete answers to linear homogeneous partial differential equations such as the problems of the vibrating string, the vibrating membrane and heat conduction. With problems and solutions. 31 illustrations.Sagan, Hans is the author of 'Boundary and Eigenvalue Problems in Mathematical Physics' with ISBN 9780486661322 and ISBN 0486661326.
